Hey, i was wondering if anyone could help me with my pothos. I just bought from somebody on market place. i think it was heavily neglected, the leaves are tiny and shriveled. i change the soil and have been regularly watering and gave it fertilizer but it looks about the exact same two weeks later. Is it past a fixing point?
oof! what did the roots look like when you repotted? this is telling me that the roots aren’t functioning
좋아요 1개 Only like half and inch to an inch long, they didn’t feel rotted to me
0개 좋아요 a plant this size should have a much more established root system. looks and sounds like rot 😕
0개 좋아요 🙁 okay, is it probably too late to fix then considering i don’t have any hard established root to fall back on if i trim the rotted?

I agree with chopping and propagating to get a cutting with a healthy long root system. I recommend propagating in water a few weeks until the roots are 2 to 4 inches long. The longer the better for this plant. Fertilize with 50% diluted fertilizer when the roots appear. I add SuperThrive plant vitamins to the water. Place in bright indirect light. Use a well draining soil with lots of perlite when you are ready to plant the cuttings. Start with a 4” wide pot. Place in bright indirect sunlight for 8 hours a day or under a grow light for 12 hours a day. Fertilize every 2 weeks with 50% diluted and SuperThrive. 🍀🪴

Yes to all who have said Chop&prop! You will get great results, pothos are super easy to do this with, I’m doing this right now for a plant that looked in similarly bad shape due to rot. Many of the leaves even bounfed back for me and look much healthier and I’m sure yours will too!
