Can someone please further educated me on if something is wrong here. i’ve read that yellowing means over watering, the branches seems to have browning and a bark type feel on spots. Also the soil is only filled halfway in the pot in came in and the bottom looks like pebbles of some sort underneath. what do i need to do? ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LGNAeilY295CU6JTNcsTisv8uMj0jXawD3QX6r2YsUQ/496a7uICQj6iA-WLdIy5iA.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LGNAeilY295CU6JTNcsTisv8uMj0jXawD3QX6r2YsUQ/7iEJnLrIRIao9-U_5wnlbA.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LGNAeilY295CU6JTNcsTisv8uMj0jXawD3QX6r2YsUQ/yFCRcwigS0yjktn8_QxXUw.webp?size=large) ## 8개의 댓글 ### Xavier Deaton님이 2024-02-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. I don’t know for sure if this is right but I know that there are different types of Pothos and I know that there is a type that is variegated with a yellowish green color so this could be what it is. Again I am no expert either but looking at the first picture it doesn’t look like how overwatering yellow would look #### Jadelyn님이 2024-02-22에 답변했습니다. yeah i fuigured it was a golden, but do you know if the browning spots are normal or not? do i need to repot it or add any soil? some of the stems honestly dont seem too deep in there and pull out from just a small accidental tug #### Xavier Deaton님이 2024-02-22에 답변했습니다. Were they there when you got it or did they just start #### Jadelyn님이 2024-02-22에 답변했습니다. I just bought this off of someone yesterday online so i have no real answers, it looks like she might’ve propagated it and put new ones in there. it stays in by a single root i can see but the big stem i can pull out #### Xavier Deaton님이 2024-02-22에 답변했습니다. If more people comment do what they say but I would give it a day or two and see if it gets worse. If it does I would probably wash the dirt off and check the roots. Any brown mushy stinky roots are rotted but the leaves of the plant look healthy so I honestly have no idea ### Xavier Deaton님이 2024-02-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. Look up golden Pothos on the app ### GreenLeaf님이 2024-02-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. It looks like they’ve put pebbles in the pot in lue of drainage. As a beginner parent I would suggest repotting into a pot with drainage and no pebbles. You can pot in a nursery pot and put it in the decorative one to make it look prettier. I’d probably remove a lot of that soil and repot with my own mix (I do 50% potting soil, 50% equal parts - perlite, orchid bark, small lava rock - but lots of people have great mixes). Then choose a pot 1-2” larger then the rootball. #### Jadelyn님이 2024-02-22에 답변했습니다. okay thank you, also is the bark-type stuff in the stems normal? it seems to have sections with it and a lot of brown dried aerial roots which i read those are atleast normal i think? --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
