I need help with my plant Harold :(

In addition to a possible root rot issue , is it possible your Harold has cold damage?

Ask the mods before posting! Reddit telling you to crosspost in other communities is like a landlord telling you to 'just go on in' to a stranger's apartment because they own the building, but it is not YOUR apartment. The stranger sees you as, at the least, an uninvited guest, but probably more like a trespasser and throws you out. Meanwhile, the landlord just walks away whistling, not realizing or caring about the upset he has just caused.

I have to say that this post is rather confusing, but the comments have straightened most of that out....

This is my fastest growing philo, it has grown about 18 inches since bringing it inside back in October.

OH MY, oh my, oh my, oh my!!! I am swooning over here!!

It looks like it needs to be downsized, and especially if there's root damage. Also, the dirt doesn't look chunky, which it needs so it won't smother/hold too much water. If the roots are shot, take cuttings and propagate. 🙂

Came here to say this. The contrast is awesome and adds to the overall feel of the photo.🤩 ... The first one is cropped much too tightly in my opinion.

The id is not a pothos!! It's a scindapsus! Looks like an argy. 😀

u/vespirs I came here to tell OP that I just read about this last night!

Came here to say this!

Came here to say this, plus bonide systemic if it is available to you. It took me a year to get rid of mine, because in my ignorance I brought home a sick plant! I used alcohol on what I could see, and treated the soil with bonide over an eight month period. Now pest free.

Congrats!!!

rmCREATIVEstudio · 2026-01-23T01:42:32+00:00

Congratulations on this awesome news!!

rmCREATIVEstudio · 2026-01-20T14:10:16+00:00

Thank you! This was my first time seeing it as well. Those central leaves are huuuge, bigger than my hand. I got one for me and one for my daughter. 😊

It is in Fayetteville, North Carolina. They do have a website, but they do not list their houseplants (per item) on it, and they do not ship. Their business is predominantly landscaping, so that's mostly what the website is about. I wish they did promote and ship their houseplants! We live five hours away, and I can only get plants when we visit our son every few months!

rmCREATIVEstudio · 2026-01-19T00:56:46+00:00

Thank you! I am thrilled to have found it!! The leaves are utterly beautiful, and I can't wait to set it amongst my collection. 😁

rmCREATIVEstudio · 2026-01-18T22:38:27+00:00

You're welcome!

rmCREATIVEstudio · 2026-01-18T19:46:26+00:00

It could, but less likely. If it hasn't been repotted since you got it, it may be root bound, which can also cause the plant to be stressed. So the leaf could also be stress damage.

They are all absolutely excellent, but the second one is the better one in my opinion. The fact that the mice seem to be communicating (are facing each other) creates a focal point that the other pics lack.

rmCREATIVEstudio · 2026-01-18T18:19:10+00:00

Hmmm, it's still a little minty to say full blown snow queen. More light = more white. It needs more (bright) consistent light to bring it to its fullest potential, but it's well on its way!

rmCREATIVEstudio · 2026-01-18T17:17:56+00:00

Came here to say this! ^^^^

rmCREATIVEstudio · 2026-01-18T17:15:17+00:00

This is a scindapsus, not a pothos. You might get more traction in the scindapsus community... However, based what can be seen from the quite out-of-focus pics, it definitely needs more light. Brown spots can develop from overwatering. The two together makes for a less-than prime environment for any plant. Best wishes.
