# Here’s a before and after picture of my pothos from 2 weeeks. Why…

Here’s a before and after picture of my pothos from 2 weeeks. Why does it have brown spots now? I’ve repotted and then left it alone.

The Manjula and pearls and jade pothos are tricky.. the brown spots is either overwaterering,too much sun, or lack of humidity…I had two pearls and jade in which I finally just chunked in the trash. My anxiety was off the chain. They get really long and leggy and then spacey in the top, no matter how I pruned and plucked it never got better, pretty plants but I will never purchase again 😏

I also have the same issues!

Oh I love these guys. They take a lot of work to keep in shape, and are trickier than the normal golden and njoy pothos varieties. Your spots seem to be from over watering or small pot.

I bought 3 small pothos and then after they grew on their own, i repotted all 3 into one larger pot.

Well draining soil helps from over watering. Then you can keep it on the same cycle as your other plants. Just ensure the dirt is 50% dry before watering again. I always bottom water which lets it take what it needs.
