![]() Here are these little plants in a HUGE container. She planted them in a large like 18 or20 inch terra cotta planter. So for two dollars she had her summer victims. My Mom used to buy four of the tiniest geranium seedlings she could find. It is just my experience that with over potted plants, watering becomes difficult. A photo might help to clear it up.īut pothos, like I said are tough plants. You said "only one vine" so I assumed one single stem. It really seems like underwatering at this point but I'm also afraid I might overwater the pothos. All leaves are wilting and limp, curling. Update 6/28/18 7:07PM CST: It appears the newest growth on all vines is turning black at the edges. Maybe I overwatered it? Am I underwatering it? Were the roots exposed to the air for too long? Was it that I washed all the roots? The potting soil I used? Or was the new pot too much bigger? Maybe the new pot is the problem, with its coconut liner and no drainage holes? Is the soil too compacted? Or maybe it's just transplant shock? thanks in advance i hope my plant survives I don't see what I did wrong, but I hope I can find help. Now, one day after the transplant, more leaves have turned yellow (starting from the tips, same as before), and unlike before, a number of leaves have begun to curl, and some wilting and drooping. I did not fertilize after reporting, and I've never fertilized this plant. Then, I started to move the plants to the larger pot, and once I was satisfied with the layout, added more soil and watered it. I washed all the roots, made sure they were healthy, then checked over all the leaves for pests and pulled off the yellow leaves I mentioned before. The roots were curled around the inner edge of the pot at the bottom many times, and after much work, I untangled all the roots and found out that there were 20 individual pothos plants. So I got a 16" diameter hanging pot that was 7" deep, and proceeded to remove the pothos from its old home. I also thought it could have been the natural process, as only the older leaves were yellowing, but in the end I decided to repot. I thought maybe those leaves were yellowing because the roots needed more room to grow. I figured after it's two or so years in that same pot, it was getting small and needed a larger pot. Only on one vine though so I thought it couldn't have been over or under watering, also considering my watering habits: once a week, about a cup of water for the plant, which was in a 8" diamater by 5.5" high plastic pot with drainage holes. The past week, the oldest leaves on my pothos have been turning yellow.
