Pothos leaves have holes.. Please help
Comments (1)your pictures link. Hi & welcome to Gardenweb! Those damaged spots look mechanical. When a leaf is bent, the crease can turn brown. As far as light goes, Pothos want what all plants want, as much sun as you can provide without inducing sunburn. That can vary wildly depending on your location (elevation, latitude) so it might help for you to get more specific advice by including some location info in your profile (which will show up next to your name when you post here.) There is info about Pothos recently here and here. In particular, I would draw your attention to the info about how drainage holes are not usually at the true bottom of a hanging basket. Staking can result in larger leaves, and is a primary topic of this discussion. Having some live plants is good for improving indoor air quality. The faster they are growing, the more they will do in that capacity. Your plant looks like it could use a shower or to have its' leaves wiped gently with a damp cotton ball to remove dust....See MoreYellowing Queen Marble Pothos Leaves

You have a beautiful, healthy plant here! :) Feel free to trim off the yellow leaves -- they won't ever return to normal....See MoreHelp! Golden pothos leaves are turning brown/yellow
Comments (9)Sorry Annabelle, It's easy for tags to be switched btwn pots. Also sometimes their tags are just wrong, it this case they appear to have been switched. Here's some Golden Pothos (Epipremnum), that I grow in water. But my Pothos growing in soil get watered every 7-10 days or so, I think yours MAY be underwatered. Yours is some variation whose name I forget. Something about Joy or Cream in the name. Let's allow some time for others to chime in, someone here will know. In the meantime, I'd try watering a bit more often & water well, 'til some comes out the bottom....See Moretapla (mid-Michigan, USDA z5b-6a)
