Hello, an advice for my dying Pothos?! I’ve tried all the advice I can find online so far and she continues to flop and yellow. Thanks!

I had the same issue and couldn’t tell whether it was overwatering or underwatering. In the end, I repotted it into semi-hydroponics, and now it’s growing really well.

Exactly! I keep going back and forth. Thanks I will try repotting

I have three different types of pothos, and the one in semi-hydro is soooo happy. The leaves are huge.

You can see the difference here.

Mine did that this winter (yellow leaves and balding at the soil level), i pulled it out of the pot and found it was really root bound and what little soil was in there was crappy so it wasn’t getting any nutrients. I repotted her in a chunky mix and looped the long stems to circle into the topsoil so it would propagate and become full at the top again. She’s loving life now

I would have to guess over watering, but they also love to climb! Try a stake as well and you may see fuller growth!

I'm having this issue with my global green, only it's WAY smaller than yours. It will be the first and only pothos I've ever killed! I've repotted mine into a smaller pot and took cuttings (hopefully they're good enough). I'd definitely repot it and take a few cuttings in case the original doesn't come back. Good luck!

If it were my plant I’d give it a fresh start - chop it, propagate small pieces and then would try to grow a bushier plant in hydroponic.

If you never repotted it since the problem started it might be a root root, but not sure.
