Please help! Trying to save my 6 year old pothos 💚
TLDR:
Beginner plant mom. 6+ year-old pothos has never been repotted, fertilized, pruned, or propagated. Very long/bare vines, and after recently untangling/supporting them, some leaves are yellowing and curling. I want to rehabilitate it without shocking it, where do I start?
Details:
I brought her home at least 6 years ago. I’m just now getting into plant care, so she hasn’t gotten the best treatment - she’s been in her nursery pot, same soil, no fertilizer, no pruning or repropagating. I just went off vibes for watering, about once a week depending on climate and how dry the roots look.
I’m in SoCal. I spent periods of time gone so I had my dad water her and open the curtains, I think some the bare vines may partially be from those times.
A week ago I gently untangled her, she’s being supported by her own curves, fishing line, and some hooks. I’ve made sure the vines are loose, following her own structure, nothing was bent or being cut into.
On the farthest vine, some leaves are yellowing and curling. Maybe from environmental stress? Or light?
I would love to save her but have no idea how. I feel like she’s too delicate right now to repot or do any major cleaning, and I’d have to take everything down. Idk where or what to cut, whether she is too root bound, if there’s any root rot, if leaves can regrow from any parts of the bare vines… or if I should just start saying goodbye.
My curly spider, Brasil philodendron, transcendía nanouk are all in the same room thriving.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
