# I am in need of some help with my Pothos. For the first few years of…

_Publicado por LizL el 2024-10-02_

I am in need of some help with my Pothos. For the first few years of his life he grew up in my office with tons of sun in a huge southern facing window, and I had no issues. He thrived. I left that job a few years ago and had to bring him home, and it's been a slow but steady struggle bus since. Every couple of months, he develops yellow leaves like in the picture. Always in the middle of a vine, while still putting out new growth at the end of the vines. I tried repotting him in a bigger pot (still maybe not big enough?), moving windows from a west facing window to a southern facing window, and finally putting him above a sink (still southern facing) so I remember to water him more frequently (a glass or two once a week or so). The pot does drain but it does have drainage catch attached (sorry, I don't actually know what that is called). Does anyone have any idea of how I can stop the yellowing?

Have you ever repotted it?

#### LizL respondió el 2024-10-02

I repotted it about a year ago. That was one of the first attempts I made at fixing the problem. It may still need a bigger pot though.

#### Kades respondió el 2024-10-02

I think you should probably pull him out of the pot and look at the roots

I would only water when needed.

do you fertilize?

#### LizL respondió el 2024-10-02

Not reliably. Whenever I think about it (probably every couple of months) I put a couple.of squirts of this fertilizer before watering it. I will admit, I mostly don't know what I'm doing with my indoor plants.

girl me either don’t worry, my pothos is major dying right now and I read that they are really hungry guys so need a lot of plant food. i’m not sure exactly how much but i’m sure you can google it!

### Matilda comentó el 2024-10-03

Do you rotate the plant? If the yellowing is only on the back perhaps that side just needs a little more light

#### LizL respondió el 2024-10-03

Hmmm... it is definitely only on the back side right now! I can't remember if that is always the issue. I'll try rotating to see if that helps! Thank you!!
