Can anyone tell me why my golden patho is doing this. It was a start from a friend’s plant.

Do you have it in direct sunlight?

looks burnt but also the pot is way too big

Hi there, the pot looks too big for the root system which can lead to too much water being absorbed by the soil and causing root issues. How big were the roots when you planted this cutting? I tend not to pot up anything with roots that are smaller than about 2 inches or have secondary roots.

I thought the pot was too big. Can I replant

#### NewPlantMom25님이 2025-05-12에 답변했습니다.

How big of a pot should I put it in?

#### Bb님이 2025-05-12에 답변했습니다.

Yes, I would replant. Select one that’s about 1-1.5 inches all the way around the root ball. With a starter plant that has a very small root system that could be a 3 or 4 inches pot

Thank u. The roots were about 2 to 3 inches when potted

#### Bb님이 2025-05-12에 답변했습니다.

Babies :) if you can, mix your soil with perlite to provide aeration to the roots as well. So that would be about 75% soil and 25% perlite. This will help prevent cloggy soil and root rot issues

So I replanted it. Should I cut the burnt off?

It’s definitely got sunburnt so I would recommend keeping it in the indirect sunlight! I usually cut off the burnt part and sometimes even the entire leaf when this has happened to me. ☺️
