My pothos leaves are very droopy and soft, the plant just looks very sad. I did have it sit by the window for a long time, but after I realized that the leaves are soft, I moved it in front of a closed window so it at least gets sunlight. But why are the leaves like that? Did I overwater? Did I underwater? I water them about once every two weeks, or whenever the soil gets dry.
This is a cutting from an existing pothos. I used garden pins to pin it down. I know when you are propagating you want to keep it most while it develops roots. How often should I water this guy? Thanks in advance. #goldenpothos
Hi! So this is my first time putting pothos in Leca. Did I do this correctly? These are cuttings that sat in water for roughly 2 months. I soaked the clay balls for a week, drained, and rinsed. I filled the jar up with water right up to under the roots….the roots look fuzzy and I’m hoping that’s normal….she looks pretty happy overall though…any help is appreciated. :)
This is one of my favourite pothos due to the really cool variegated spots of the leaves. (I'm not even sure what type of pothos this is)
However I've noticed that the light variegated parts of the leaves have been going brown, soft and mushy then eventually going crispy and flaking off. I have 6 pothos all in the same environment and this is the only one that's being noticeably affected by this.
I've posted some additional picture of where it's located. It's on top of my wardrobe, above my west facing window and I also run these led lights 12 hours a day.
Do you think these led lights are too much for them on the highest setting? Is it possible to cause this kind of damage from too much light? Or is this not enough light?
This is in a sunless basement with inexpensive grow lights for a light source, and growing in a frog aquarium 🐸
Hi all!
I had this very gorgeous pothos that I severely neglected in the beginning of the year due to mental and physical health issues. Clearly, she is a hurtin’ girl. :(
I trimmed off all her dead leaves and left on the few that I thought might make it.
After some internet sleuthing, I decided to give her a 20 minute sink soak because she was *severely* dehydrated. Her remaining vines have really perked up the last few days, and you can see some of them curling or lifting themselves off the side of the planter where they were once hanging limp. Some of the leaves have firmed back up, but some of them are still pretty mushy.
I want to use keiki paste to attempt to get some leaves to grow back on all the empty nodes left on her vines, but the internet was saying the plant needs to recover from severe dehydration before I do that.
My question is: how often should I water her to help her recover from dehydration without risking root rot, and at what point will she be ready to use the paste?
Took a cutting of my mom’s pothos and have been growing it in this tank for around a year now. I just recently put the new stem growth back into the tank water a few months ago, and it has shot off some huge roots which are now allowing for some big beautiful leaves. Each new leaf seems to be bigger than the next! My tank has tonssss of nutrients for this thing to absorb. I want to grow it as large as possible!
Found a really cool guy at the Lowe’s clearance rack. I got him & his brother (what I am pretty sure is a philo Micans) for $24 total, including the nice pots they come in.
Is this a global green??? I’ve been searching for this and a lemon meringue.
These were planted in leca like 5 years ago and I haven't propagated them since. For the first 4 years they were in a room with just enough sunlight and grew quite slowly, but since last summer they've been in my new living room and have just been absolutely going crazy with new leaf growth!
So I know there is lots of potential, but they're beginning to look bald at the top, and the one on the second picture is just way too long.
I know how the basics when it comes to propagating, but just want to hear what you guys would do here? Would you just cut up everything, and discard the top parts to start over with new growings? Or just take some length off to begin with?
I'm really attached to these plants and don't want to fuck it up :(
EDIT: It's not very clear in the pictures, but especially the ones on the first one have been losing some leaves at the top and since I know I need to trim them anyway (it's so pretty but the length is getting out of hand), I was wondering if I should just start over with the cuttings.
Everyone wants to think their plant is doing something cool and I'm already excited because I had my first keiki appear a couple weeks ago. It's hard to believe that I could have an orchid produce a keiki AND a pothos produce a spathe in such a short period of time.
I just wanted to share this because I am SO proud of this beauty!
I planted 8 leaves and now, after 3 months, that number has DOUBLED! And almost all of the leaves have new ones emerging from them, so I think the number of leaves will double again in around 3 weeks.
I planted two other pots, one of which is showing absolutely no growth and the other is showing very slow growth. Funnily enough, this one is the one I had the least hope in because I felt like the leaves were arranged terribly (it was my first time planting props ever).
Im gonna get a nice pot for this one tomorrow :)
Hi, im kinda new with plants in general. A coworker gift me a little root of her pothos like a year ago, i have been caring her until it got this big. I don't even know how to take the next step, any help will be apreciated (the branch is about 50cm for reference)
I bought this pothos from a greenhouse last year, and it let me know that my home is a huge downgrade by getting brown spots all over the place for months. After shedding many leaves, particularly up top, it grudgingly accepted its lot in life. Now, here we are.
I am an amateur plant owner, I’ve owned a couple of spider plants, snake plants, and succulents for about a year now. I bought this cutie with plans to put it on a floating shelf with a grow light. The room I’m putting it in is bright, but I’m worried the corner will be too dark since the sunlight doesn’t reach it very well.
Some questions I have:
-should I cut off the browning leaves or let them be?
-what kind of grow light should I get?
-any other care tips?
Thank you!!!
My Nana has had these pothos for as long as I can remember, always chopping and propping and spreading them around the house, and now she's gotten older these are her only 2 left, I'm wondering what kind they might be? I was thinking, a marble and a snow queen?
I also recently trimmed one to prop to bring home and the new growth is so much lighter?? Is that just a new growth thing or did the trimming effect something? Circled in picture
Thank you for any input 🥰
Received this gorgeous cutting from a plant friend in February. I rooted it initially in water, then on a moss pole. It rooted so well and fast in moss. Today I moved it to a pot in PON. It was easier than I thought separating the bottom section of the plant from the moss.
I am a new plant momma. I just got this pothos a little over two weeks ago. When I bought her there were some yellow leaves which I trimmed per google saying I should. However more leaves keep turning yellow/dying. The plant just does not seem to be happy. I got another pothos from the same store and she is very happy even sprouting some new leaves already. Both plants hang in a window and get watered once a week. How do I help make this plant happier? Also how much should I be watering a plant of this size on watering day?
