# I’m starting to see more brown spots on my Hawaiian than I used to…

I’m starting to see more brown spots on my Hawaiian than I used to and I’m wondering if I need to prune just the ones with patches. They all look the texture of the leaf with one in this photo but not the same size. She’s still pushing out leaves at the ends as well but the ones closer to the crown of the plant are smaller and a little wrinkly. Is she okay?

It’s beautiful! Check the humidity levels near the plant. Its natural environment has higher humidity. Low humidity can cause dry spots.

Check the brownish yellowing vine for damages or damaged roots.

Hawaiian pothos are avid tree climbers. The new leaves will grow smaller without a pole/board to climb. The new leaves will become enormous like the largest leaves with a pole to climb. The vine tips are growing away from the light source. The newer growth contributes less to the photosynthesis process as it grows. Climbing allows the plant to get closer to sunlight in its natural environment.
