Hi guys! I am absolutely killing this plant and I’m not sure why. The leaves started to turn yellow as soon as I bought it about 2 months ago, I thought it was the light so I got a grow light but it’s only getting worse. Not sure what to do.

    It could be a watering issue… over/under watering maybe?

    Yeah, my opinion would definitely be a watering issue (over or under) like the other comment said.

      How often is she watered?

      One a week (that’s what the shop I bought it from was doing)

      I, personally, water when I notice the top of the soil looking dry or when the leaves start to wilt a bit, which is usually every 1 1/2-2 weeks. Also, check the roots for any root rot, just to be safe and place them in a window with Tons of sun, they can survive in lower light but they do not thrive in it.

    I loved that you started this off with “I am absolutely killing this plant…” I chuckled because that’s exactly how I feel sometimes. Whenever my similar pothos looks like that, it’s usually because I over watered. May she get well soon!

    I agree with all the previous comments, and would add that maybe repotting and placing her in a different location where it gets more natural light might help 💚🪴

    Take off the pot to check for root rot. It looks overwatered or the roots are sitting in the drainage water. Also, check for overgrown roots blocking the drainage holes. 🪴🍀

    Like sunny said it may need to be repotted also

    Don't worry, pothos are very resilient, once you know how to care for it it'll bounce back real fast! Make sure you prune those dying/dead leaves. The plant will keep sending water and nutrients to the dying ones, so if you get rid of them it'll encourage new growth. Good luck! 🤞

    I found that my pothos started to yellow because it needed to be repotted, so I would check the roots :) also, check what everyone else said!

    Do everything the rest of the comments suggested. Additionally you need to prune off all those yellow/brown/damaged leaves. Your plant is wasting energy and nutrients trying to heal them when in reality it can’t.
