Hi! so Iām new to plants and I have just recently bought a Neon Pothos and the leaves on the top are darker than the ones on the bottom, and as you can see the leaf is turning brown.. And I just donāt know what to do, cause I just the watering schedule on Planta to know when to water itā¦ I need some advice about Pothos cause I also have a Golden Pothosš
I ended up buying a soil moisture meter. Iāve noticed that Iāve had to skip some watering days because the soil was still āmoistā and chose to mist the leaves instead. Iām still new to this too. š

I donāt find the Planta app watering schedule to be completely accurate. I just stick my finger in the soil and if itās wet/moist I wonāt water and Iāll push the snooze til next time button.

If you donāt have a moisture metre, another user @PlantyAnne suggests using a bamboo skewer or chopstick to check the moisture level. If you search for chopstick in this forum Iām sure youāll find her detailed instructions on how to

This is the way!šš Itās more accurate than a water meter that measures conductivity. Iāve thrown out two water meters.
