Hi everyone! I noticed my pothos had a couple of funky looking leaves. I cut them off because I didn’t like how they looked. Does anyone know if it’s something bad or if it’s just older leaves dying off? Thanks in advance :)

Looks like a watering issue to me or a pest. Get your magnifying glass 🔍 and look in the crevices and under the leaves everywhere to see if there is any pests. If not then yayyy!!! It could be an overwatering issue or inconsistent watering issue..

Can we see a photo of the whole plant for assessment? 😄

Thanks! Does the pot have drainage? If not I’d say it could be a watering issue.

#### viridien replied on 2026-02-05

Yep! It’s got one drainage hole in the bottom. I think I might be letting it dry out a bit too much in-between waterings.

Could be that too!
