I’m growing golden pothos and the tips of them r brown. I searched up some tips and put a humidifier by them but they r still brown. Does that mean I’m doing anything wrong?

    How long has it been since you put the humidifier there?

      It could just be that they haven’t had enough time to recover, but I’d check all the things! Light levels, over/underwatering, if the soil is too soggy, and how quickly it dries out. It could be a root issue, it’s always good to check the roots to make sure they’re healthy!

      Umm idk if this is important but just to let u know that they were proprogated and the roots r very tiny if that’s important.

      yes very important. roots need to have secondary roots prior to potting. if these are cuttings or new plants, they need a smaller pot for sure and only a pot an inch or 2 bigger than the root ball. if they aren’t big enough yet try going them hydroponically with a very small amount of fertilizer to ensure roots are large enough. being in too big of a pot can cause overwatering for small roots and can go through shock. give them enough light, my goldens love being under a grow light that’s about 1 foot away from the top of the plant and watered about once a week, but always check soil first prior to watering if you use soil.

    Once a leaf is damaged, the brown spots will remain. The plant can't repair already dead spots. Changes you make will not show up until the new leaves show up.

    rot on still unfurling leaves is almost always a watering issue. moisture travels from the roots up to the leaves, and if there's too much moisture (overwatering, too big of pot, too much humidity) water becomes trapped in the leaf and causes bacterial growth. you're most certainly overwatering it based on other comments, pull it out of the pot and look at the roots asap.

      I wash off the dirt and these r the roots. Should I mover them to a smaller pot or back to a cup of water?

      I’d put them in water and wait until the roots are a couple of inches long. I always propagate my pothos cuttings in water before potting up. Most times they are in the water for months before I do but they’re very forgiving. Picture to illustrate

    I would cut each vine back to a node leave the potted vines in the soil with a node on each one. New growth will start there. It'll be ugly for a while, but it'll fill back in. Then I'd cut the trimmed stems into multiple pieces and place them in water to root and start new plants. Make sure there is at least one node one the vine you place in the water.
