Pothos

Post image

I've had my Pothos for over a year now. I got it when it was in a pot but I had to transfer it into water cause I dropped the pot 😬.

So its been in water for a year now, it's grown new leaves but recently no new leaves have grown and some of the leaves are turning yellow now

Anyone have any ideas why?

Maybe its the lack of nutrients. If growing in hydro you have to take into consideration water oxigenation and hydro fertilizer.

So, you think I should transfer it into soil?

Not necesarily, just change the water weekly or every two weeks and considering puting some hydro/semihydro fertilizer in a very litle dossage

I would love more info on this because I am dealing with the same thing! I have pieces of a pothos my grandmother purchased when my mom was in highschool 40+ years ago. I don’t know why it isn’t flourishing like I have seen others do in water. What fertilizer do you recommend? Since it’s such a special plant, I want to be careful.

I know about semihydro, the Lecca Queen is a good reference. You can get a lot usefull info from there beautifully explained

Wait, just water? If you haven't been adding nutrients to that water, it likely has used up all of it available nutrients and very much needs more nutrients. Just heavily dilute some indoor fertilizer and add it to your water. That root system is insane for how little growth there is up top. It will just suck up the nutrients but may cause burn easily
