Help with new Pothos?

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Hi! I just received a new Pothos NJoy from a seller on Etsy, and am trying tog figure out if it is still recovering from the stress of being mailed or if there is a problem with how I’m caring for it.

It’s been just over 2 weeks since I received it, it came in a small plastic travel pot and I have since repotted it. It looked like it was recovering well, but in the past 4 days or so, I’ve noticed some yellowing leaves and drooping... I don’t think this is due to overwatering since Ive only watered it twice, about 10 days apart, when I feel the Top couple inches of the soil are dry.

I also read that the yellowing could be caused by too much sun. It had it sitting in an east facing window, which I didn’t think got too much direct light, but I have since moved it to a bit shadier spot.

My last concern is that I have noticed one of the “nodes”(?) where part of the plant meets the soil has some darkening and I’m wondering if that is root rot, or if I need to un-pot it and check for that?

I’m a pretty new plant parent and have never bought cuttings through the mail before so any help would be appreciated! Thank you!!
