# Hey everyone! I’ve had this pothos for a couple weeks, almost a month…

_Posted by Vanna on 2025-06-05_

Hey everyone! I’ve had this pothos for a couple weeks, almost a month and it’s progressively getting these soft brown spots. There’s only two new leaves getting pushed out. I see no sign of pest it’s under a grow light 11 ish hours a day. It has drainage but of all my plants and pothos it’s doing the worst. Any tips or help is so appreciated. I was also told it’s a Manjula pothos is that right?

Yes it’s a manjula but I can’t really diagnose the problem because I don’t have enough info. I will say the white parts are more susceptible to discoloration because there’s no chlorophyll

Push back on watering it looks like overwatering issues and too much direct sunlight could be hitting it, try moving to a different location

It could be watering issues and humidity too low. Mine was due to irregular watering. I kept mine on the dryer side outside because we got sudden rain showers. So, one or two leaves a month would get spots and it was typically in the white areas first. Fortunately, it quickly grew new leaves. Mine are on a windowsill facing northeast. It gets morning light and bright shade the rest of the day. 🪴🍀
