Sunburned Pothos: Prune Below Damage for Recovery

Pruning Technique

Cut just above a leaf node (where leaf meets vine) with sharp scissors. Remove all burned/damaged leaves. If all leaves damaged, cut to soil level—it will resprout.

Aftercare

• Bright indoor light (no direct sun).
• Monthly fertilizer (Miracle-Gro type).
• Water only when pot feels very light (up to 2 weeks). Then soak thoroughly.
• Wet/dry cycles + max light = fast, bushy regrowth.

Bonus

Pruning stimulates side shoots → fuller plant.
