# hey y’all! i have this marbles and jade pothos - she was growing…

_Posted by greentea on 2024-09-20_

hey y’all! i have this marbles and jade pothos - she was growing great this spring but has lost some leaves. I am concerned because I used to get the occasional brown spot, but I’m noticed so many brown spots \& some yellowing. What can I do to make her happy again?

How often are you watering?

#### greentea replied on 2024-09-20

I notice that when planta recommends I water the soil is usually still wet. So usually around 8-10 days when the top soil is dry.

Okay, yeahhh, I’d wait for it to fully dry out instead of just the top. So definitely check the roots, take it out of the pot and see if any are rotting or mushy or smells bad. Awhile ago, I almost lost a pearls and jade pothos due to a bad pot, but pothos don’t do too well with wet feet

ok that’s great to know thank you!! do you know if there’s a soil mix that will work well with these guys?

#### Alyssa replied on 2024-09-20

I use a mix of succulent/cactus soil (got mine at target, I steer clear of the miracle grow stuff since they always tend to package their soil soaking wet), and then I mix in more perlite, and orchid bark for mine. I have three pothos and they love it! Pushed out a ton of leaves this growing season
