# My plant was doing fine for a few months and recently it’s starting…

My plant was doing fine for a few months and recently it’s starting to die from the middle. Any ideas welcome because the app just says it’s a watering issue but I have a self watering pot so not sure that’s the real problem.

What plant is this?

It looks like a marble queen Pothos to me.

Yes that’s right

Looks like the older leaves are just dying off. I would remove them and just keep a watchful eye on jt

### Muppy commented on 2025-02-01

I have this exact plant which is doing the same, I would agree and say the old leaves are dying off. Definitely keep a close eye in case you need to go into plant protection mode!

It looks to be sitting in wet soil. Maybe the self watering pot is giving too much water. I would allow it to dry in between waterings. I agree to remove the yellow leaves.
