# Guys, I really need help here. 😰I have had this beautiful plant for…

_Posted by Jackie Grows on 2025-09-18_

Guys, I really need help here. 😰I have had this beautiful plant for a few years now and really never had issues with her. A few months ago she started dropping leaves and as I suspected she was long overdue for a repot. I potted her into a pot 2” bigger and aroid potting mix. She was shocked for a second but then seemed to cheer up. But recently she’s started dropping leaves fast and I cannot for the life of me find out what I’m doing wrong. I have her under a grow light for 6hrs, water every 2 weeks, liquid fertilizer every two weeks. Unfortunately she’s in a North facing window, but my two other pothos are there too and are thriving. I’ll include pictures of the yellowing I’m seeing and the leggy-ness. Any help would be so appreciated. 🥺

It might be transplant shock while it adjusts to the new pot - the yellowing leaves look older so it’s probably getting rid of them to redirect energy to more important places. I would increase light to 10-12 hrs and water by feel rather than a strict schedule (when top inch or two is dry) other than that it looks very healthy and a great soil mix!

Also I would chop off the entire vine that’s yellowing 😋

Agree with Andy. All of my pothos hate being repotted! They all seem to throw a fit for awhile. My theory has been they like to work on their roots first. 😉

Okay, thanks. I’ll try increasing the light and doing some pruning.
