it’s a golden pothos and the soil looks very peat-heavy. repotting into something with better drainage \& removing the sick leaves should help

Thank you!!

I used a basic indoor house plant soil

#### eatyacarbs replied on 2024-08-20

i would at least add a fair bit of perlite to whatever you have

#### Zaria replied on 2024-08-20

Do you reccomend soil on bottom \& perlite on top? Or mix it all together? Sorry new here!!

no problem! mix it all up! try a 2:1 ratio
