# I have 2 cuttings and the original pothos, all three seem to be…

_Posted by Amy on 2024-07-27_

I have 2 cuttings and the original pothos, all three seem to be struggling in their own ways. Any advice is appreciated.

The first is in water. Idk why leaves are turning yellow. Maybe I replaced water with tap instead of distilled? South facing window.

The second is in a self-watering pot. Recently repotted with indoor potting soil and perlite mix. Why the brown spots? New babies shrivel up. Also south facing window.

The last and original is actually doing pretty well but it takes a longer time than it (seemingly) should to dry in between watering. Outside, south facing covered porch. Super humid and hot this time of year.
