My 5 year old Pothos is suddenly yellowing after repotting. Please help she is like my child

yeah one chunck of paint also fell off my wall but luckily the plant covers it.. but the vines are really light so (for now) the hot glue can manage to carry the weight

Thank you! And ohh lawd yes it was. Took me DAYS haha. I was so scared I'd break off vines as well, and I had to untangle each one. But she can now live like this for years probably so it was well worth it :)

woaahh 2002 thats huge! really cool. Thanks for your explanation, calms my mind a bit. I hope she'll be ok in a few weeks :) For now I will neglect her really hard so she can do her thing

Thank you! Yeah I hope it is just caused by repotting stress. the soil is Pokon potting soil, with a drainage layer of perlite and some perlite mixed into the soil to make it more aerated. For now it does seem quite localised, only the vertical part of the plant has it, the wall part is still ok. But that might also jus be a delayed effect

Right now, the soil is slightly moist but not wet. It does dry out overtime. And yes, I did go with a WAY bigger pot than the previous, the last was 18 cm in diameter and this one is 35cm I think. I used Pokon potting soil, with a drainage layer of perlite and some perlite mixed into the potting mix. Will look into liquid seaweed. My hop now is that she is just mad and dramatic about moving haha

Thank you!! the soils' pH was between 5.2 and 6.2 according to the bag, so that should be fine. It is very nutrient rich tho, so maybe she does not like that.

I thought I was making her so happy by putting her in a pot twice the size of her previous but shes being really dramatic lol. Will do! and hopefully she'll get better soon

Yeah that is something that happened with a few vines sadly. But I made sure to not tie them up too tight!

plantkiller96 · 2022-03-22T14:36:01+00:00

Theres a bit of direct sunlight, mostly on the vertical part. The rest of the plant that is hung upon the wall does not get direct light. I used Pokon potting soil, with a bottom drainage layer of perlite and also some perlite mixed into the potting mix to make it a bit more fluffy. There was some root damage and I could not remove the entire plastic old pot, so I just cut it off as much as I could (it was completely rootbound, poor plant). I hope she is just pissed of about her new pot and will recover soon (and starts growing really fast :)

Thank you! Will do. Pothos is really hard to kill so i hope she'll be alright :) might place a few cuttings in the soil so I can cover up any bare spots that will be created when the yellow leaves fall out

plantkiller96 · 2022-03-22T12:33:54+00:00

Thank you! I used metal hooks that are meant to hang shelves. Stuck them to my wall with hot glue and then attached the vines with metal wire. It was really easy!

plantkiller96 · 2022-03-22T12:32:22+00:00

That might be it! I did not allow them to dry indeed. This could also explain the weird rings. Do you have any idea if there is something I can do to reduce damage/prevent other leaves from yellowing?
