# Hey y’all! I got this beautiful bushy golden pothos 10 days ago and…

_Posted by mira on 2023-08-19_

Hey y’all! I got this beautiful bushy golden pothos 10 days ago and noticed some yellowing leaves this morning. I know pothos are prone to overwatering and that is a common cause of yellow leaves but I haven’t watered it since I got it. Can anyone help me figure out what’s wrong with her?

Was she overwatered before you got her? Have you checked the soil and roots?

I checked the soil when I bought it and it was damp but not drenched. I haven’t inspected the roots yet because I was worried about stressing the plant even more

It could just be it adjusting to your house, you can give her some time, make sure she dries out before you water ❤️

Thank you! I’m just a paranoid plant mama because I love her too much

give her some time maybe another week or so! she could just be adjusting to the new environment!! if she is still dying try to propagate her leaves and plant them !! maybe she is just to overwhelmed in the pot! could be many things i say give her time 😁😁
