Help! The entire time I’ve had this satin pothos (like 1.5 years) most of its foliage gets crispy tips when they come out. New growth does this and then just continues to grow like that. The plant was given to me with sandy soil and it still retains water decently. It gets bright indirect light and I water every two weeks or so. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
It could be a watering issue or low humidity. It looks overwatered. Scindapus is a low maintenance plant when it’s not sitting in water too long. Change out the soil. It’s holding too much water. Put it in a 6 inch pot (with drain holes). Use a potting mix with good drainage. There should be lots of chunky material like perlite in the mix. Adjust the watering schedule. The soil should dry out in a week or less for that size plant. Add more chunky bits (perlite, orchid bark chips, coco coir, vermiculite, Leca) to the potting mix if the soil is holding water for over a week. The other possibility of low humidity can be fixed with a humidifier. New leaves have problems unfurling or drying when the relative humidity is too low. 🍀🪴
