New leaves coming out with dry, black tips
(media.piefed.social)
I've had this plant for a while in other countries, and it was always very easy going. But after the last time I moved the sapling I took with me has started struggling.
The picture is not a perfect illustration, but you can see new leaves coming out turning black in the ends, and eventually drying out and dying. This already happened with a lot of leaves that I cut off, but now it's repeating itself with the new ones.
The plant has been in a relatively bright spot and I think it has received enough water that it shouldn't be the problem. The black parts are completely dead. Does anyone have any idea what can be done? :)
I'm sorry the picture is not more illustrative.
Disclaimer: I'm not an expert.
Pothos is usually fairly hardy. It's probably acclimating to it's new environment. Be very careful of over watering. Stick your finger deep into the soil and don't water if it's clearly moist. If it's totally dry, take it to the shower, get it totally wet but let all the excess water drain. If you haven't repotted it in two years, you may want to do that and check for root rot while you're at it.
It's been repotted fairly recently, and the problems seem to have started shortly after really. Maybe it needs to get used to the new pot, but all the new leaves start looking bad after a little while at this point, and the part of the plant that's already grown seems to be gradually getting marks and looking worse.
Thanks for the advice on watering - I'll be more hesitant going forwards! Could very well be that I have been over-watering it, in the past I got the impression that I could do nothing wrong with it.
I'm actually having a similar problem. I've had my pothos for maybe 6 years now, and I reported them for the first time in a long while a month ago... they're not very happy now, but I'm hoping they're just adjusting.
I have no advice but I hope yours recover!
