I have moved my plant to my office desk with limited lighting so I got an artificial plant light and the leaves are falling off. This is what’s left but I can tell my pothos is turning brown and dying. It has been repotted as well so I’m unsure of what’s going on. Any tips?

Check the roots for rot which indicates the soil is taking too long to dry out. The current pot should only be 2” wider than the previous pot or the roots can’t dry out the excess soil.

I would place all the leaves closer to the light. Six inches to a 8” at most from the light is good for now. These small lights are not that intense.

Propagate the bald vine by placing cuttings in water, 2-3 leaf nodes per cutting. Put at least one leaf node into water. Fertilize when the roots appear. Put the cuttings back into the current pot when the roots are 2” long. 🪴🍀

Okay I tried propagating it and will try to light thing as well and see how it reacts. Thank you!

I think you wanna change the pot, they are cute but can kill plans due to the lack of drainage. Take out and inspect the roots, then I suggest you to put in a plastic pot that fits in the pot you have in. Also maybe a more drainage soil and fertiliser. Keep the light, but if nothing change after all, move up the distance between the plant and the light.

The pot mostly likely is not draining really good. That pot is keeping your soil to wet and it’s not drying out completely before you water again… Terracotta is a great pot for pothos plants

I didn’t know that about the terracotta and pothos! Thank you for that tip!

I would also check if the pot is getting hot from any fans blowing from your computer. I had a plant too close to my laptop one time, and it was basically the equivalent of a heater blowing on it 24/7 being next to the computer fan.
