# I’ve had my satin pothos for 2.5 years, these days if I water more…

_Posted by Jessie Stratton Zhou on 2023-11-05_

I’ve had my satin pothos for 2.5 years, these days if I water more than a tiny stream the water will go right through the plant. So I try to water with small streams, but then the leaves always turn yellow, then fall off.

Any advice? It used to be so full, and it’s so sparse now. All the green leaves are curled like it’s thirsty, but they turn yellow so quickly so I don’t want to overwater. Thanks!

I agree with Planty Ann. I would also propagate it and plant it back in the same pot to help fill out where the leaves have fallen.

Thank you both!!! It made a couple big moves and went without water for almost a month last year because I couldn’t be there so it really took a hit then. I’ll repot this week!

Good luck!

Good luck. Mine loves Molly’s Mix. If prune it back and propagate and see if you can get some of the curled leaves to plump up, sometimes they are too far gone, but I’ve revived mine by doing this. I put Superthrive in the water.
