It’s normal to have the occasional smaller or older leaf die off. Is this wide spread issue or just this one leaf?

#### Liam replied on 2024-05-19

Just this one leaf, and the brown on the sides of the stems was worrying me, is that normal? 🥹

#### Sunny replied on 2024-05-19

This is normal. Older leaves die off. You can wipe the dry bits off with a damp soft cloth if you don’t like the look.

#### S.R replied on 2024-05-19

Yes that’s just the old leaf sheath drying out. Completely normal!

#### Liam replied on 2024-05-20

Oh perfect! The look doesn’t bother me, I was just worried something was wrong 🥹 thank you so much for the response!

#### Liam replied on 2024-05-20

Thank you, friend! 🥹

Your pothos looks very healthy and happy, just older leaves dying as they do! Probably best to remove this dead leaf so the plant isn’t fighting trying to keep that one leaf alive

#### Liam replied on 2024-05-20

Perfect 🥹 I’ll go trim that leaf off now 🥹 does that go for pretty much all plants?

#### Hettie replied on 2024-05-20

When they initially start dying (not completely crispy like this one) it sometimes helps to leave them for a little bit before pruning them as the plant tends to get some extra nutrients from it, at least that’s what i’ve found personally. But pruning a dead leaf at the very least helps encourage new growth so it’s always worth doing!
