# Hey guys, So I’m a fairly new plant mom. I’ve had my pothos for about…

_Geplaatst door elexis (: op 2024-01-20_

Hey guys,

So I’m a fairly new plant mom. I’ve had my pothos for about 4 months now and we’ve been going so strong! All of a sudden it’s dying and I’m not sure if it was because of me overwatering the plant or if it has to do with the cold temps outside. It sits on a windowsill because that is the only light source available in my home. I have a grow light that I recently moved it under (further away from windowsills) and it hasn’t helped much :/

Also, I have weird spots on my plants that look like someone cut it. I doubt that is the case, but am unsure what pest infestation may look like. I’ve attached images below for reference.

Any info will help (:

I would remove it out of the cache pot and inspect it. That specific pot sometimes is deeper than the plastic pot they put inside and water can collect at the base, which causes the roots to suffocate

That’s what I was thinking about doing and maybe replacing the soil with a fresh batch. Thank you!
