# Some of the leaves are yellowing, don’t judge… But I got this pothos…

Some of the leaves are yellowing, don’t judge… But I got this pothos at least 3 years ago when I wasn’t super into plants, now I have no clue what kind it is (first image). It doesn’t look like my marble queen (second image) I’m not sure if it’s a golden that just needs some love.

I got my first pothos a month ago and still learning the basics here  
I know they dont like really wet soil. Are you able to pull it out of the pot to check the roots? Make sure they dont smell rotten or mushy if they are those roots need to be cut off and then placed in new fresh soil. They’re supposed to be the easiest plant to grow but I be stressing out on mine lol

I wasn’t as concerned about the yellowing as much as I am concerned about what type of pothos it is 😅 I’m gonna repot a few of my plants coming up soon and this one is on the list.

It's a golden for sure

Yay! I know a little bit about plants!

Definitely a golden pothos. You can unpot it to check the roots. Brown/black/sludgy/foul odor are all root rot and should be removed. If the roots are fine looking, it can mean it needs fertilizer. If you’re super concerned about the roots, you can always chop and prop
