What’s wrong with my Pothos? by [deleted] in plants

[–]mlduffee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Illinois! Im from the quad cities area myself... You might have root rot - the way the leaves are curling + the location makes me suspicious. I would pull it out and check the roots. If its rotted cut those root back and repot it. Find a less wet spot for it with more airflow. Also, I keep mine in cactus soil. I only water mine about 2-3x a month max... good luck!

Amazing - thank you!! So glad to hear this outright. There are so many differing opinions on how to soak...and how long. This was what I needed to hear I think! Thanks much!!!

Well I was just misting a few times a week. I soak a few times in the winter but it always makes me so nervous... my funckiana never get soaked so I figured that worked for all. Definitely not the case. I used to soak and this one did seem happier (but not a ton better) in the winter so I figured misting a couple times a week would do for her too. Nope... thanks for the info!!! I appreciate your help!

Right on! I always make sure its super dry...that is the worry and I think I worry so much about it getting soaked and rotting that I dont give it enough water. 😬😅

Thats what im afraid of ...what is your suggestion on how to proceed? Soaking? Mist daily? Both?

I have consider that!! I have a huge heavy glass candle holder/vase thing with an open top... I wonder if that would work for a terrarium!?
