Pothos Problems: Overwatering Is the Root Cause

All Symptoms Point to One Thing

• Brown tips
• New leaves yellowing/dying

Cause: Overwatering. Pothos needs to be very dry and light before watering again. Roots require a dry "breathing" period.

Do Not Repot

Every repot damages roots. Tangled roots are normal—they breathe fine.

Other Answers

• Hanging stems are fine—great for baskets.
• Pruning = cutting above a leaf node to shape or propagate.
• 6 stems hanging = not the problem; overwatering is.
• Water every 2 weeks or when wilting starts. Learn the "just before wilt" point.
