Pothos leaves turning yellow after trimming
Comments (6)I totally believe in the water rooting method too. Back home, I've got tons of cuttings rooting in water just waiting to be potted. I didnt want to do it at my mom's place coz I'm just here for a couple of weeks. My folks don't care about plants as much as I do, so I didnt trust them to plant these correctly when the roots grew long enough. I thought I'd try the direct method so that all they have to do is water when I go back. Thankfully the yellowing has stopped. I've removed the yellow leaves - the pots look slightly bare but atleast whatever remains is green. Sadly, the mother plant no longer remains. I trimmed her completely to do these cuttings. She was sitting in a pot with no holes, in stinky, swampy soil. What remained of her should now be in plant heaven. I had one more question on this. Since I got my cuttings from a mature plant, the cuttings are all stiff i.e. they stand straight up. Even if they do grow new shoots and leaves, will they ever "spill over" the sides of the pots like I want them do. I want to have a bushy pot of pothos with no stems visible - just lush beautiful leaves. Do I pinch them later or something?...See MorePothos has yellow leaves on several stems
Comments (6)What'd the farmer say when his horse died? "Hmmm .... never did THAT before." ;o) As a first step, I would remove the fertilizer sticks & flush the soil thoroughly & repeatedly. Then I would let the plant dry down to a normal moisture level and be careful about watering correctly forever after. W/o more dialog, if I had to make a guess at where you stand based on only the odds, I'd guess the problem is caused by a high level of soluble salts that have accumulated in the soil, and the plant is badly in need of a repot, which includes a change of soil to something fresh and appropriate - not just topping off or potting up.

Comments (11)Well it's currently in a hanging basket by a window so I wanted to keep that, but maybe get a slightly larger pot, not too much larger though. Since root rot is something to be concerned about maybe a ceramic or terra cotta pot with a well draining soil. Does that sound right?...See MoreYellow spots on Pothos leaves
Comments (3)Doesn't look fungal to me. Did anything change recently in its care? I'm not familiar w/ yellow spots like that, sorry, let's see what other folks say....See Morewoodrose
