I got a golden pothos (named him chuck norris) a few weeks ago at ikea, and it was doing great. But then a few days ago, his leaves started turning yellow. They’re multiple pothos propagations and also has some brown spots. What should I do?
I’d check for pests, repot into better soil, being from Ikea it’s probably in too dense of soil, and cut off the yellowing leaves (they’re just pest attractors)

0 likesI don’t know about the brown spots, but for the yellowing leaves maybe it’s lacking nutrients? Use Epsom salt (make sure it’s not the ones that have the scents)—-you can get them cheaper at the Dollar Tree if there is one near by you.
0 likesThank you both for the advice, I’ll check for nutrient deficiency, and I think I just saw some gnats flying around. I really hope he’ll recover.
