# My pothos is filling out her pot, is this okay to just let the growth…

_Posted by Nik on 2026-10-22_

My pothos is filling out her pot, is this okay to just let the growth keep happening as it is? I’ve noticed one leaf didn’t get enough light in the centre and it died and that’s okay as long as the majority of the plant should stay healthy like this.  
Would love to know if I need to repot. Thanksss!!

You are going to lose a leaf here and there. It looks great

My pothos is FULL, absolutely filled up. Younger leaves will die, it’s normal. No need to repot unless you think it’s not draining or something.
