It has started yellowing and having leaves fall off at a rapid pace. She is watered every 12 days from top watering and she is in a terracotta pot she was repotted about 3 months ago as she was root bound. I used indoor plant fertilizer on her today as she has never been fertilized. ![4개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/sD7JJyMz5kBrKHht4WVMuKqSGoS8ql-GxpeZu09d5-U/hD_xtqB_SiSbw-lcgJ9dHA.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/sD7JJyMz5kBrKHht4WVMuKqSGoS8ql-GxpeZu09d5-U/0XyDa_38TzGkjPvW4m9w0w.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/sD7JJyMz5kBrKHht4WVMuKqSGoS8ql-GxpeZu09d5-U/gCy4zTBLR7CN0tSSOpeu-g.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/sD7JJyMz5kBrKHht4WVMuKqSGoS8ql-GxpeZu09d5-U/y2ASkpKLRy6dvdOmbAEmbw.webp?size=large) ## 9개의 댓글 ### Kades님이 2024-10-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. How much larger of a pot did you choose when you repotted? If they’re not already I’d highly suggest the chopstick method before watering. Just stick a wooden skewer in the pot gently and wait a few moments. If it comes out dry you know you’re good to water. Pothos don’t mind drying out a bit so it’s better to wait a few extra days before watering, just to make sure the roots aren’t being over saturated. The window could be an issue if it’s drafty but I don’t really think that’s what’s happening. #### Jess님이 2024-10-26에 답변했습니다. It is two sizes bigger. They are not doing that they are currently just sticking their finger in the soil and check to see if it’s wet or not I will definitely recommend doing that watering method! ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-10-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. was it in terra cotta before? #### Jess님이 2024-10-26에 답변했습니다. It was in a plastic pot #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-10-26에 답변했습니다. Terra cottage holds a lot of moisture. If I switch something to it, I often have to water less. It can be a bit deceiving. #### Phil님이 2024-10-27에 답변했습니다. Sorry but I disagree. Terracotta leaches water out. It requires more frequent watering, because it is porous. #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-10-27에 답변했습니다. I haven't found that to be true in my space. Which has a high humidity. Every succ or cactus I've had in terra cotta starts to rot. I only keep super water loving plants in them. And it's a switch from plastic or ceramic i hold off watering for a bit after the initial change ### Sunny님이 2024-10-25에 댓글을 남겼어요. The yellow looks like it could have been exposed to a temperature drop or temperature fluctuations to cause leaves to wilt and suddenly fall. Another possibility is overwatering which can turn leaves yellow and floppy. Kades recommendations above apply. A third possibility is a chemical reaction to fertilizer, minerals in the water or insecticides. The last thing I can think of is changes in lighting. Was the plant moved to a new location or has the change in season changed the amount/intensity of the sunlight it was getting? A grow light can help. 🍀🪴 #### Jess님이 2024-10-26에 답변했습니다. Thank you! We are in Oklahoma so the season did just change and it has gotten alot cooler out here. It has always been placed in this north east window! --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
