# I don’t have a picture at the moment but, my boyfriend’s pothos is…

_Opslået af Lilly den 2024-09-14_

I don’t have a picture at the moment but, my boyfriend’s pothos is pretty long, but the leafs at, the top mostly, are turning yellow and falling off. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it? What should I do with it?

I see the tag is still there. Has it been repotted since getting the plant??

#### Lilly svarede den 2024-09-15

honestly no i don’t think he repotted it

#### Kat svarede den 2024-09-15

I would do a repot. Take a good look at the roots, remove any squishy root rot, spray the root ball with 3% peroxide (you don’t have to rinse it) this will kill any bacteria on the roots. But it’s definitely more than losing just old leaves.

it’s natural for the older leaves to die off but could be overwatering! I like to give my pothos a haircut every now and then and that has helped with the older leaves turning yellow
