# A lil while ago I got a neon pothos from a plant place and a couple…

_Publicado por Gweeftina el 2023-11-11_

A lil while ago I got a neon pothos from a plant place and a couple weeks later leaves started turning yellow and black rings formed where the leaves attached to the main plant

It was:  
\- in a non-draining pot  
\- in front of a grow light  
\- only about 4 inches tall  
\- watered maybe once a weak  
\- never fertilised  
Does anyone know what could’ve happened? I looked it up and I couldn’t find anything that matched up fully with what was happening.

The plant has since died, it has one leaf left but I don’t think it’ll last long, but I’m asking because I got another plant from the same place (a much larger marble queen pothos) and I’m hoping to stop the same thing from happening.

it likely died of root rot. non-draining pots are death traps for plants. the water has no where to go so the roots rotted, killing the plant. also, no plant should be watered on a schedule so it probably got overwatered (watered more frequently, not quantity of water it gets each time).
