# Hey earthlings!! My golden pothos is looking very limp.. just gave…

_Geplaatst door Toastoool op 2024-06-12_

Hey earthlings!! My golden pothos is looking very limp.. just gave him a thorough watering(soil was quite dry) and so I’m hoping he perks up soon! I don’t know if it’s a common pothos thing but he also has some browness on his stems.. any ideas what that is?  
Thanks in advance!!

Brown on the stems are totally normal! Just the edges that split when the new leaf emerged. Hopefully it will perk up later after you watered it🙌

That’s good to hear, my pothos is already looking happier!

One way that I water my pothos is by putting the container in water so the roots soak up enough for it :) so you can make sure the plant gets it

My pothos prefer to bottom water. They just look happier after.

Mine does too:) for deep waters I’ll do that but for others I put them in the shower with Luke warm water, like it’s raining to clean off the leaves

Yes, while water through the top the sides of the container(which is plastic) felt extremely hard so I did bottom water it a bit, I will definitely keep that in mind! Thanks so much
