# Second post today 😩, though I was wondering if this leaf needs to be…

Second post today 😩, though I was wondering if this leaf needs to be pruned or left alone?? It’s burnt because of the sun, but the rest of the stem is fine.

We aren’t quite sure what to do, so would leaving it be the best option??

I believe this is a Golden Pothos(?)

I could remove the dying leaf and make sure all the roots are good. Then keep on propping as is

#### lennie antwortete am 2025-07-20

So should I remove it? I believe all the roots are fine because we have it in water.

#### Neptune’s Nest antwortete am 2025-07-20

Yep! Snip time. You can get probs w roots in water for a future reference as well but that leaf kinda looks sunburnt or temp burnt frankly

Remove ! Check the roots for sure !! It is a golden pothos btw

#### lennie antwortete am 2025-07-20

Should I remove the whole stem or just the leaf?? I’ll check the roots rn!

#### LeafyGreenhouse antwortete am 2025-07-20

Try to cut the whole stem down as it looks like it’s a bit black too

### Sunny kommentierte am 2025-07-20

Just cut the leaf and leaf stem only. The rest of it looks fine. I’m assuming no root issues since the leaves look healthy.

Pothos can take early morning and late afternoon direct sunlight. They need filtered or indirect sunlight the rest of the day. 🪴🍀

I'd prune it. Either cut it off at the stem. Or cut off the scorched bits. The decaying portions can cause other issues sometimes. So best to remove leaves that have issues

### Mrs Daniels kommentierte am 2025-07-21

I would remove the dead leaves and plant the rest in soil

### Carolinagreenthumb kommentierte am 2025-07-21

Yep! The rest looks fine from what I can see. Just snip it off close to the stem it came out of.
