Iām a little bit sad. I am new to houseplants. I got this Marble Queen Pothos about three weeks ago and had them repot her at the shop. I have watered her 2-3 times and added this trellis last week. She has one large leaf that is yellowing and her nearby new growth is limp with brown stems. I havenāt watered her in a week because I can feel that the soil is still wet through the drainage hole. What am I doing wrong?/how do I heal her? Thank you!
I would invest in some air flow pots. These specific pothos can be very picky when it comes to watering and itās very easy to over water them. The same thing happened to mine and he was on his last stem but ever since I switched to a different pot and soil he has been thriving! Check for root rot and remove all dead or dying leaves and stems and repot in a smaller pot to give it a chance to grow
May be over watering just a bit. Does this pot have drainage holes? I typically water mine every week and a half and that seems to be a great schedule for mine.

It might be root rot. I would go back and ask them to put her in chunkier soil or you can make some your self. Also invest in mycorrhizae, it helps with transplant shock and helps roots grow
2 gillningarHow do I make chunkier soil? Should I use orchid bark or??
0 gillningar I use potting soil, orchid bark and perlite. Equal parts of each. Should cost you maybe $20 from Home Depot and itāll last you a while

definitely a problem with the roots. take the plant out of the pot and see if they look strong and healthy or limp, hollow or soggy. i also second mycorrhizae, it helps the roots establish much easier and faster.
