It’s dead cut it off, push back on watering…make sure it’s getting bright but indirect light

These plants hate to be overwatered, very sensitive. I just threw mine away I got tired of the finicky attitude and trying to please it. Pretty plant but I want purchase again

If you have a meter with percentages, I let mine go down to 20% before I water. Regular meter should be well into the dry zone. And that’s taking a reading at the bottom of the pot. Finger test, soil should feel dry well into the pot. Take care and they can turn into a beautiful plant. Pic is of mine. It’s thriving.

The plant looks under watered or had irregular watering issues. The soil is moist. But, the plant is showing dry spots. I recommend watering only when the soil dries out. Then, bottom water to let the soil fully saturate. Drain excess water and wait for the soil to dry completely, again.

Fertilize. Cebu Blue pothos grows very quickly and needs fertilizing. It will take on the blue hues as it darkens.
