# Hey all. I made the mistake of putting my Golden Pothos in a hanging…

_Posted by Nova on 2023-12-15_

Hey all. I made the mistake of putting my Golden Pothos in a hanging planter (see below!) with NO drainage holes. I drilled one into the planter, but it was too late. My pothos is now drooping and turning yellow! Is there any way I can save it?

Super cute pot!

I have the same pot for my marble. Like one other person mentioned, just use less water.

Less water, and switch soil to more draining soil, with lava rock. So tropical or cactus soil is what I use and no longer have that issue.
