# okay i need help. pothos consistently don't like me. i give them…

_Posted by rachel myrtle on 2023-03-08_

okay i need help. pothos consistently don't like me. i give them light but not so much that the leaves burn. i let the soil dry out enough before watering, even letting it get a little wilty. i make sure water gets to the roots but it's in well draining soil and a pot with drainage. it's not too cold/hot/or dry in my house. the plant was doing well when i bought it, no pests or anything. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?!

Seems like you might be under watering it. By letting it wilt each time before you water it, you might be stressing it out. Try giving it water once the top few inches of soil feel dry, instead of waiting until everything is completely dried out. You may also want to cut off the yellowed leaves, because they won’t turn back. Hope this helps :)
