# Hi!! My coworker has been growing this marble pothos in our office…

_Posted by squidknapper on 2026-05-22_

Hi!! My coworker has been growing this marble pothos in our office for quite some time. We repotted it when it became root bound, and it’s hated its life ever since (whoops.)  
I figured it was overwatering given that the leaves are browning and soft, so I transferred it into a plastic pot rather than terracotta, adding more drainage holes and perlite. (Don’t judge how dry it looks lol it’s still moist in the center!!)  
I’m just asking to see what everyone thinks before I water it and potentially drown it again!!

Pls correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t terra-cotta help with drainage more and maybe check the boots cause this looks a bit like root rot maybe the soil makes you used isn’t well draining enough did you change the lighting conditions?
