# Golden pothos I believe... It was doing well, and I think I got some…

_Posted by Kelly on 2025-12-08_

Golden pothos I believe... It was doing well, and I think I got some thripes maybe, I thoroughly cleaned all leaves with neem oil and I don't see any evidence of pests. The leaves have started to turn yellow and fall off. It's in an east facing window. Last picture is the healthy leaves.  
A yone have any ideas what it's lacking?

Check the roots. It may need a repot if the roots are more than the soil.

It could be overwatering if there is root rot or the soil is not allowed to dry out. Check for root rot.

It could be low lighting. Move it to a south facing window or west window or give it a grow, if needed. 🪴🍀

It looks like you need a repot but the leaves look like over watering

Thanks... I reported and plan on letting it dry out a little. I hope it survives!
