My pothos is super happy right now, but I’m noticing these holes and brown spots here and there. What does it mean?

Mine has that too, I tend to think it’s just mechanical damage or just inconsistent watering , but I always am on the side of under watering than over, especially since pothos are drought tolerant to an extent

Thank you for the reassurance 😭 I just want him to be happy. I don’t think I overwater him, but I do just follow what the app tells me

Of course! Oh he looks happy for sure, no worries there. Yeah, that’s good, I water mine about every 10-12 days but she’s a big beauty and has a pretty huge root system

Those holes can happen if the new leaf is damaged while it is unfurling. Nothing to worry about.
