Hello everyone 👋🏾  
I just came back from Colorado and I checked my plants when I saw that my pothos had brown tips! It might be overwatering, but I’m also scared that it might be pests?! I don’t really know what it is despite me being a plant parent for a year now! Can some of you guys help me clarify what this is?! Thank you

Looks like overwatering. What makes you think he might have pests?

Idk, just assuming the worst I guess

It’s difficult to tell from the pic how the soil looks but make sure you have him in chunky soil and you’re watering only when the top inch or so is dry. Godspeed! 💚💚

Just fyi, even when you’ve been a plant parent for year, it can still be difficult to determine what a problem is. I’ve had plants for years and I’m still at a loss for brown tips like that.
