While I don’t know if it’s the exact cause, for the Pothos’ yellow leaves, I don’t recommend following the routine too closely. Planta has a tendency to make me overwater. Instead make sure to check that the soil is as dry as it should be for that plant (e.g. top two inches, whole soil, or moist but not wet), using a finger. Just use the schedule to remind you to check that. A moisture meter might help, but keep in mind they aren’t always 100% accurate. For succulents you might even want to wait for thirst signs, like leaves becoming soft. Hope this helps! There’s also a chance you’re doing watering fine and it’s another problem, but I’m not sure myself.
3 likesAgree! I think its due to overwatering. And agree about Planta notifying me to water too soon even though all the info of the plant is filled out/correct. I use a moisture meter but you can also check the soil with your finger. Pothos are better off drying out completely. The leaves will usually droop when it needs water.
