Hi everyone! I have a baby Thai constellation and I’m having a little panic that I might kill it 🫣 I’ve not have it a week and its bottom leaf has turned white/yellow. To be fair this leaf wasn’t 100% when it arrived. I’ve only watered it the once and it was in a bright indirect light spot but I think there was a strong draft at times so it’s been moved onto a heat mat. Wondering if there’s any tips for keeping one so small. I could put it under a grow light but don’t want to burn it if it’s too strong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

    You may want to prune the dying leaf (be careful not to cut any new growth) and move on. This is pretty typical of new purchases I think. Pothos are very resilient so you can also wait until it browns. I just like to make sure my water is going to the right places. Be careful not to overwater. Make sure soil is a fingertip length dry before rewatering. Also - repot it in a more porous surface like terracotta- it’s fairly cheap for a small pot and dish. Good luck!

      It’s so small that the pot is just a bit bigger than a finger tip 😂 The soil seems relatively chunky (for its size) and I did chop that bottom leaf after posting

      When I said it was small, I meant it was REALLY small 😂 That’s why I’m super paranoid I might kill it 😅 It’s been put halfway down my tiered stand under a grow light so should hopefully settle in nicely until I can put it in the big monstera pots to join the others
