So excited to report that my Hawaiian pothos is doing so much better and has reached a length of 5ft! I also measured her width and she’s about 3ft wide. InSANE considering she was a wilty sad plant in the beginning of 2024.

Hi, everyone 🤗 Need y'all's thoughts/advice on my babies. I have quite a few pothos plants that are currently in plant hospital in my upstairs living room 🥺 Some we're looking quite droopy and losing leaves, which I boiled down to inconsistent watering (it's been a busy couple months). Anyway, I placed them upstairs last night because it's the least cold room and gets the best light during our winters here in central coast CA. This morning they look happier and the leaves don't look wilty anymore (yay!). But one of the plants (see pictures) has lots of bare vine space with no leaves. Should I be worried about this? And any winter care tips y'all can share? I really don't want to kill my babies! My house is pretty drafty and this living room I think is the best place for them right now. Any ideas are welcome! 🩷

Helppppp. My Pothos hasn’t grown an inch since I got her in August/September. I’ve been checking the soil and watering accordingly, have periodically fertilized her (less now that it’s winter), and have a humidifier going. What’s going on? Any tips for how to revive her or help her grow?

Alright folks. I’m over this plant. Since the weather has turned cold it’s been drooping and producing many yellow leaves at once. I let it completely dry out then watered it thoroughly a few days ago. Planta diagnosis is frustrating since it offers too many possible diagnosis’ at once. It doesn’t not have pests and has not been overwatered. It is under a grow light 12+ hours a day. It perked up after the watering but then started having yellow leaves. What’s everyone’s opinion as to what it needs?

Growth on my marble queen! New shoots galore and a little bit of trailing on the pole 😸

My pothos grew so fast so well now it looks kinda droopy, do you think the pot needs to be bigger?

I’ve had my pothos plant for over two years. And it’s consistently done very well. I’ve noticed it gets this strange greenish “web” in the soil after it is watered. It hasn’t always done this. Doesn’t seem to harm the plant at all because the plant is otherwise very healthy. Any idea what this green web is?

I bought a beautiful pothos at Home Depot, part neon and part dark green. Left it for about 5 days and when I returned, all the dark leaves were dead dead dead. The neons were just saggy. Heartbroken, I trimmed the dead leaves off and copped the vines too. The neons bounced back, but I’m not sure how to best care for this guy now. There are naked vines wrapped up in the soil, should I excavate them? Some of them are sprouting new neon growth down at the ends of the vine, should I chop and propagate? Help!

Just bought my first 4 plants, a golden pothos being one of them. I’ve no idea what I’m doing. What sort of water? Fertilizer as well? I need all the tips! 😆

I finally repotted my Snow Queen Pothos and I love how it looks! My pothos brings me so much joy.

Golden pothos I believe... It was doing well, and I think I got some thripes maybe, I thoroughly cleaned all leaves with neem oil and I don't see any evidence of pests. The leaves have started to turn yellow and fall off. It's in an east facing window. Last picture is the healthy leaves. A yone have any ideas what it's lacking?

I took my plant babies outside for some “sunnin’” and while I was away my pothos and Swiss cheese plant blew over in to the pool!! They are drenched! What should I do now?? 😤🥺

Just moved to Arizona, so babies got a new home. I currently have two golden pothos (I am definitely a pothos plant mom) and hoping to get more during Christmas! I got the smaller one (Azi) during the move and have had the bigger one (Hope) for a couple years now. Fresh start for me and the plants! Would love any tips anyone has for taking care of pothos.

My pothos has NOT been doing well. I finally decided to completely repot it so it could just be a fresh start for it and its roots are COMPLETELY GONE. There were a ton of roots in the soil but only this on the plants. Any advice on how to proceed? I’m new to the plant world (my plan was to go down on pot size and give her a good water today with new soil and see if I can get the roots back growing but if anyone has something else more effective I am ALL ears)

I just got this beauty today. To say that untangling her was a pain is an understatement. I love her so much

I know I’ve posted a lot today but I’m just getting all my worries out I guess lol. Ive had this pothos for forever (seriously it was probably my third plant Ive had it for at least 4 years now) so it’s been a while lol. I’ve noticed recently its leaves have been getting smaller and smaller and it’s lost a few in specific spots. The small leaves thing is especially noticeable on its baby (I gave it to my brother who promptly didn’t water it for at least a month) so i consider it a rescue. I gave her a good drink and ever since she’s been on my schedule she’s been producing leaves like crazy, the only thing is her leaves are SUPER small. (My finger for reference) the bathroom that the baby is in is a little low light but considering I’ve noticed it with both and my bigger one has plenty of light I assumed it wasn’t that. Any ideas as to what I can fix?
