What’s happening to my pothos? Some leaves are brown on the stem and the leaves are brown and dead.

the brown on the stems is nothing — just spent sheaths from when the leaf was new.

the brown leaves is something else. is it happening to a lot of the leaves or just this one?

#### Ashley svarade den 2024-08-20

Not all leaves loon like this, only 4 or 5.

is the plant new? is it happening only to your newer leaves, near the ends of your vines or randomly? (these things are easier to diagnose when i understand the full picture 😅)

#### Ashley svarade den 2024-08-20

I’ve had the plant for 2 months maybe. I notice it’s on smaller leaves like baby leaves. Not the big leaves. They’re mostly on the long vine.

it could just be adapting to the environment — new growth in a relatively new place. a pothos like this one is generally hardy

how close to a window and which direction does that window face? if this was my pothos i would probably just prune the damaged leaves away and carry on — if it keeps happening you’ll want to investigate your roots

#### Ashley svarade den 2024-08-20

It’s stays in this corner next to the window. Thank you for your help!
