Hi everyone!! I’m new to having a pothos, when I got him last week he had these brown spots and seemed pretty frail. I believe he was over watered when I got him so I gave him the week by the window to hopefully dry out a bit. The weather here has been extremely cold with dry air, I just watered him but he just is not doing great, drooping and brown/black spots. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi friends! I need some help. I have a golden pothos that was propped in water and it got sad when I moved it to soil. At first I thought it wasn’t getting enough light, but there was no improvement under a grow lamp. Then I learned the roots are more delicate when propped in water and I should have kept the soil moist when I first transplanted it (thank you Wolfen!) So I started doing that, but the leaves kept curling. So I decided to remove it from the pot and check on the roots. Well, they were gone. I guess it got root rot. (My nemesis!) So now I have it back in water, but I’m wondering if I should do a fresh cut on the stem to help it grow new roots? (And if so, where should I do the cut?) I don’t speak houseplant very well. 😢
my lil updated kitchen pothos corner 🥰 golden, marble, jessenia, and global green
Any idea what could be causing this yellowing on my old/not so old leaves?? I repotted a few months back when I thought maybe it was rootbound but it keeps coming out til I eventually cut off the leaves. Im thinking fungal but not sure how to tackle it, so any advice would be great!
This is my Snow Queen Pothos, President Snow (like the Hunger Games!) Don’t be like me and forget you strung beads on your plant. Nature always finds a way😭
I just got a Cebu Blue that came with spots on a few leaves. I don't know if this is normal but could this be because of overwatering / pests? This is my first pinnatum
advice for my little bendy? i can’t seem to have him 100% these days. (yes he’s named after the video game haha)
Hello Pothos Friends! I have a neon that seems very happy, but there’s some minor damage that I can’t pinpoint the cause of. It looks like some kind of pest damage, but I’ve checked the plant over every day for weeks and seen nothing. I’ve been cleaning the leaves once a week just to be sure that there’s aren’t any pests anyways. If it was old leaves then I wouldn’t be as concerned, but it’s newer leaves have very minor damage. They come out perfect but within a day or two some of them have these marks. It puts out a new leaf pretty much every day (no exaggeration) so it’s healthy and happy. I just can’t figure out how this is happening or if it’s even a problem. Would love to hear your thoughts.
did some repotting today :3 the poor spider plants are always immediate victims of the cats. the minute I bring them down out of the hangers lol
Hi everyone! Would anyone happen to know what this weird red fluff that is growing on the roots of my Pothos propagation is? Thanks!
The newer leaves on my pothos are all growing in smaller and smaller. The growth on the longest vine has stopped completely and I want to prevent that for the others. The plant is healthy otherwise. How can I get the leaves to grow in bigger?
Recently came back to school from Christmas break and obviously my pothos was not doing great so I watered ASAP. Half of it stood back up and is doing great but the other half is shriveled and turning black. Any suggestions? I've had it only for a few months so this is my first issue. (I have large windows in my dorm so it had lots of indirect sunlight and drainage holes too)
How it started in 2023… to how it’s going 2025! I’ve been wanting to repot her but was a little nervous since it was growing and growing and growing. The roots were TIGHT to say the least. I did repot it along with several other of my plants this weekend. One was a gorgeous spider plant I needed to separate. And thought “how pretty would it be to combine the spider & Pothos?” I think spidey is a little shocked but I’m hoping this will be a statement piece
ever since i started giving my pothos moss poles / wood planks, i've noticed SO much growth !! they just look so beautiful this way, im obsessed
I was minding my own business and this beautiful neon pothos fell onto my cart at Walmart.
Found this beautiful variegation hiding in my Jade Pothos 😍
Found the fullest 5 foot Jade Pothos with hidden variegation for only 20 bucks 😫 happy birthday to me 🥰🥰
Leaves are really starting to size up and change shape on my Njoy moss pole!
My colleague gifted me some plants he almost una*ived when he left them in the car on a hot summer day. After a severe surgery and intensive post-op care, this girl is exceeding expectations. It’s been 2yrs and 4mos! I made her one plant and she’s doing well… extremely proud of my work.
Hi everyone I just bought this pothos and was wondering what are some tips to keep it super healthy? Also the second picture should I cut the brown roots off? Anything helps
