Any ideas why my leaves are getting brown spots. It looks healthy sort from these marks on some leaves please?

My neon pothos is similar. I’m curious to know why as well.

Check the roots. Is it pot bound? Are roots coming through the drain holes? Root rot starting?

Is humidity too low? Is it near a heat vent which can decrease humidity near the plant?

It’s still in its plant pot but no roots showing through.

It’s in the corner of the kitchen and I mist regularly.

Not sure what else it could be thanks?

I'd also check that it's not getting direct sunlight. They do like bright, filtered, indirect sun

### Siri commented on 2023-12-17

Looks like either from being burned or from low humidity

I’m having the same issue. I had it under a grow light but I moved it to a different location today
