# Totally new to this whole plant thing, but I got this pothos at cvs…

_Lagt ut av Mariah den 2025-05-28_

Totally new to this whole plant thing, but I got this pothos at cvs (I know🙄) but it’s leaves looked pretty good when I got it but now the leaves are turning brown with holes and the new growth looks like it also has brown spots?? Is this bugs or am I watering too much? I usually bottom water and then pour a little on the soil on top until it drains out and then let it sit for like 30 mins to drain as well, also if it’s bugs what can I use to get rid of them??  
I also don’t leave them in this window all the time, I just had them there earlier for some sun before it went down

The leaf spots/holes could be from low humidity or mechanical damage. The brown strips along the vines are normal. They appear after each leaf emerges.
