# I added coffee grounds to my pothos because I saw online that it was…

_Posted by Yesi on 2025-06-25_

I added coffee grounds to my pothos because I saw online that it was good for the plant but I might have added too much because it got moldy. I removed the mold and added cinnamon. I have new growth but now the tips turned brown. What should I do? Please help!

No need to add things if the plant looks healthy. Just let it be. More plants die because we fuss with them too much and kill them with kindness. Let the soil dry down between watering. Regularly fertilize. Give it good light, good air circulation and adequate humidity its variety.
