I would take off dead or dying leaves. Take it out of soil and place her in water for a few months. When I bought my first marble she started doing the same thing so I did this and now she’s thriving. 🙃 also you may have a snow queen 🤔 and not a marble

Do you put anything in the water? Like fertilizer or something?  
I want to try this and try and save it:(

#### Lyn replied on 2025-05-14

No you don’t have too!!

#### Emily Ann replied on 2025-05-14

I just did this today! Hopefully it works thank you so much!

Keep us updated! I just put this golden pothos is water 3 days ago and already has a root!! Trust the process. I don’t change the water till I feel it’s time or needs to be otherwise just keep adding water as needed

Love pothos

### Chloe commented on 2025-05-14

Maybe try watering when soil is almost fully dry, maybe the roots got a bit too dry between waterings? That’s the only thing I can think of sorry!

#### Chloe replied on 2025-05-14

If it’s just that one leaf then fingers crossed its just because the leaf was a bit old and nothing else

I love getting my roots by leaving mine in water. What type of soil did you use originally it looked like possibly an orchid mix and you might need a sturdier potting mix with well enough drainage to moisture absorption. I also fertilize once a month with this and it has made mine flourish.
