Is it normal for a golden pothos to lose its bottom leaves? They turn yellow and fall off.

NEED TIPS He looks a little sad since I forgot to water him 🥲 (doesn’t happen often) but I’ve had this guy for at least 3 years and doesn’t really grow in length but does sprout new leafs ! Any ideas why he isn’t growing ? 🌱

Please help! I’m a new plant mom and I’m not sure if this is how the plant is supposed to look. It looks like the new forming leaves have stopped growing. The corners of most of the leaves look brown and crispy, but the leaves feel healthy to the touch. I repotted her last week into this clear nursery pot so that way I can monitor the roots and moisture in the soil and I bottom watered using distilled water with a couple drops of fertilizer. She gets bright indirect sun for about 12 hours a day, and I have a humidifier running constantly due to my allergies. What can I do to encourage new growth and treat the brown crispy edges?

Just curious if anyone has experienced this regarding pothos: I’ve had my pothos for maybe a couple years- before I was really into plants. I just can’t figure out what is wrong with it. It hasn’t really grown, seems stiff, and doesn’t hang. I repotted it recently because of the not thriving issue despite it having decent roots. It has good drainage and I wait until it’s dry to water. I’ve tried different lighting. When I repotted it, several leaves turned yellow. It doesn’t have pests. Does it want to climb?

Is this a pothos? I got it as a mystery rescue plant with one leaf. When I try doing an ID I get different answers based on what photo I use. It has said pothos, antrum medium silver or philodendron

Hi! I have three pothos plants that have been in the same containers for about 3 years. I used to water them with a watering can from the top, however for the couple years I’ve been bottom watering in the sink. I’m looking for advice on what type of containers I should repot them in, what soil to use, and how to avoid growth on only one side? I’ve kept them alive all this time but I want them to thrive and look more full. Please give me any advice about how to make my pothos better! Also, if you have any tips and tricks on how to cut them and propagate to create more plants, I’ve not been successful in that so far.

Been propagating these Baltic Blues in water for a month or 2 now- and I’ve found a couple of them growing new shoots/leaves under water!! Some of them are growing new shoots out of the top, which I will keep in water, but these guys I want to plant in soil. What’s the best way to do so? Should I cut the rest of the stem off? Lmk! :)

Hey! I got a bunch of pothos cuttings from my teacher a few months ago, and they’re all doing really well. I’ve been propagating one since i got it, and it’s totally healthy, but recently its roots have gone crazy. I was planning on potting it this weekend because of it, but now there’s even more, and I just wanted to make sure everything is okay! Probably overthinking it, though.

I’m completely obsessed with my propagated Hawaiian Pothos, her leaves are now as big as my hand! 🌱

I got this pothos not long ago and it’s leaves were curled, it’s had a nice drink since then and even the cuttings I’ve taken from it are still curled even in water. Is this normal for them? How do I fix it?

My pothos collection has all come from one cutting we got at a fall festival 4+ years ago. All of a sudden across ALL of my pothos plants, the variegation on new leaves have started to have this really cool lime green color. Is it the maturity of the plant? That I recently changed fertilizer brand?

Update: i found a pot that is similar to what i have with the big girl. Thankyou for all your help and advice.Need y'alls help. Im trying to find a pot for my cutting, they are ready to be planted. But the pot im looking at that is self watering that have that cotton wick in it and im not wanting that but without it they may not get water and I cant find a pot like I have now and its frustrating. Do yall have any suggestions on a pot for my pothos cuttings. Thankyou for your help.

Is this an N’joy? Was moving some plants around for my mom today… no wonder one vine was stuck! I have a manjula and this looks different. The lighter variegation looks a bit too green in the second pic? Thank you!

This is a pothos that I have had since 2019 and have repotted a couple times but I am wondering at what point do I prune it? My roommate had a pothos that she pruned and it died and I really do not want that to happen to this one. Any advice would be appreciated!

I’m a plant noobie and just tried propagating my pothos plant by taking a couple branches and doing water propagation. I think the cuttings seem to be already trying to sprout new leaves (see picture). How long until I can expect this on the original plant? It is about two feet from an east facing window.

I got a trellis for my Hoya and the ones I want were a set of three. I decided to use the large one for Porthos, the pothos I have had for years. He’s gotten a lot healthier recently because of my new found love of indoor plants. Do you think this is done correctly? He has a lot of tangly vines. I also cut a very long one off that only had one leaf on it.

Finally got my neon pothos after FedEx lost/delivered it to the wrong house. Thankfully it’s okay

Does anyone know why the leaves of my pothos are curling in? I noticed it a few days ago but it hasn’t changed. It’s living in water with two small spider plants. I did a water change and cut off most of its roots because they were starting to smell and turn brown. It’s sitting on a table a few feet from the window.
