# A leaf on my marble queen pothos has developed brown spots with…

_Opslået af Anya den 2025-03-31_

A leaf on my marble queen pothos has developed brown spots with yellowing around them. Does anyone know what this is/what it’s caused by and if I can fix it or if I should just cut the leaf off?

Thanks :)))

It is probably an old leaf it is getting rid of.

Could be an over watering issue (yellowing) or low humidity (browning). I would have thought more leaves would be showing signs if it was any of these issues though. So probably more likely what Tellie said and just an old leaf.

My pothos was doing the same thing. It’s either overwatering or it’s not getting enough air flow. I repotted mine just to eliminate the wet soil and checked my roots then I put a fan on my plant and now it’s doing so much better now and make sure you get a good pot. This was the plastic terracotta pot from Amazon but I switched it into a clay terracotta pot now.. so much better now.. use perlite in your potting mix it helps

Also go ahead and just cut off the brown areas if you can save the leaf and it doesn’t look too crazy. Keep all brown tips cut off and make sure it’s nothing dead in your soil it cuts off airflow to your roots as well

The brown tips normally come from underwatering try a soil meter on all your plants before watering. I started using one on my pothos and my life changed quickly with the care of my pothos
