# Morning everyone! My Satin Pothos has been doing so well and I…

_Posted by Mindy on 2025-05-08_

Morning everyone! My Satin Pothos has been doing so well and I notices this morning some of the leaves are curled and almost look black ☹️ It has new growth and I don’t see any pests. The soil is damp but doesn’t seem overwatering. Any ideas?

I don’t know mine ( it wasn’t a Pothos like yours it’s called a golden pothos ) had mealy bugs on it

I don’t see any signs of them but I’ll go ahead and treat just in case. Thank you

My marble queen pothos does that from time to time. Although she is thriving she will sometimes get black spots on random leaves. It can be a sign of too much sunlight as it burns the leaves making them crispy or too much overwatering which causes spores in the leaves, hope this helps!

I did recently move her so I bet that’s it! I’m going to put her back where she was happy. Thank you 😊

It can be a humidity issue or low lighting as well.. consider a pebble tray

Same issue love, I can't seem to get mine to straightedge out, and the blackened leaves also, but I have found with that one plant she does so much better in straight water, no dirt

Thank you I’ll give that a try!
