Observed: Last night, noticed tiny brown spot on 2 of the larger leaves. 😐

Not watered since Day Zero. Daily indirect lighting with #GrowLight at the dimmest setting just to give it some consistent lighting since natural reflected light from the outside varies. Will increase grow light intensity if the color of the leaves change for the worse.

Best article with #illustrations I've found re: #pothos https://planthardware.com/propagate-pothos-illustrated-guide/ It doesn't define the part of the petiole that browns/peels. I'll just call it "sleeve".

Today the end leaf's sleeve had curled away. 🤔

I just noticed. The tips of the larger leaves are starting to brown. They look a little droopy too, I think. 😣

Don't know what to do with it. 🤷‍♀️ I think it's about time I water it. I'm also thinking tomorrow I should start leaving the #GrowLight on for 8 hours. It's very low, indirect light anyway.

I realized when I watered my #pothos that the pot's bottom is totally flat, without the usual 1 or 2 cm lift to let the bottom breathe.

Photo shows my temporary solution while I find a better setup -- elevated the pot with a smaller pot so the holes along the edge are not covered.

Observe: new growth extending out from the newest leaf

Hey, does anyone know what you call the watchamacallit whiter part of the plant that grows from the node up along/against the petiole and tends to turn brown? I keep referring to it as a sleeve. There must be a proper name for it. 🤔

The Plan: When it's grown some more and when I'm more confident, I'll trim off a group of 3 leaves and grow that in water.

Potted plant stays put. ☝️ I think my mistake with my now-dead #NjoyPothos was that I bought a potted one & moved it to live in water. 😁 Silly me.

Uh-oh. 😶 1 leaf under the taller, larger leaves is starting to look yellow. Perhaps watering 1x a week is too much. That's probably also why the leaf sheaths on the older leaves are turning brown.

No root rot, please. 🙏

Moving forward: Will water only once every 2 weeks. ☝️

I went for Option B -- cut off the yellow wilted 🍃 and wait & see.

The node is beneath the soil. I cut it as low as I could and covered the cut part with the watchamacallit covering the top of the soil. No infection, I hope.

And yes, I got a new plant yesterday! 😊

Pothos 🍃 looking droopy. ☹️ But due to the dead 🟡🍃, I should probably leave it be.

☝️ No water for now. Me thinks the weekly watering (though minimal 💧) made that 1 🍃 turn 🟡. Saw an article that says let the soil dry out completely (not just the top inch). 🤷‍♀️

A few days ago the 3rd young leaf had to be amputated. It was hopeless. Now the 2nd young leaf is starting to look burnt.

I dunno. 🤔 It's never in very bright light. Today I'll skip the indirect/reflected #GrowLight. Let's just pretend that it's mostly overcast today. *hush* 😉

Day 27 it was all perky again.
Day 30 it's back to being droopy. Gave it more water today than last time.

Watered evenly around it. Barely used ½ cup water and some came out the bottom. Soil apparently not too compact. 🤔 I hope that means root rot won't be a problem.🤞

Oh wow. 😯 The droopy/curling leaves have already recovered since I watered the pothos this morning. That was fast! Last time, I didn't notice it recovering till 2 days later.

The stem was laying limp on the glass shelf this morning... Now it's perked up and not touching the glass anymore. Yay!! 😄👍

Pothos looks good and perky except for 1 hopelessly pale yellow leaf. 🍃✂️ Since I bought the plant that leaf never opened up like the larger ones. The larger leaves look the same, so nothing to worry about, I guess. No noticeable new growth.

Tillandsia seems okay. So far. 😶

Um... Is it just me or is my pothos looking much too perky / stretchy?

I've learned when to 💧 it. Sometimes after 5 days, sometimes after 8 days. I wait for the 🍃 to start drooping, which means it's been thirsty. It perks right up after watering.

Yellowing + too perky 🤔

Leaves still very much stretched upward and inward (compared to how it was 2 months ago).

I'll turn the pothos pot to have the pothos sort of perpendicular to the wall and see if the funny leaf behavior is light-related.

I find it interesting that the youngest leaf of the pothos has grown larger than the slightly older one. It's like the older one just stopped growing. 😶

One browning leaf quickly went yellow. Got rid of it. *sigh*

The tillandsia looks the same. That's good, I guess.

Been a long time since I posted about my #GoldenPothos. This is what it looks like now. I didn't want the long leggy look anymore -- I was getting tempted to cut it and grow a new plant from it.

Knowing my #PlantCare track record and #YellowThumbs, that would have a sad outcome. 😁

Also, me thinks that keeping the leaves close together will make it easier to give them the same amount of light.

It's been with me 4 months now. Still alive. Looking perky. Color/variegation good. There are only 6 leaves left and there hasn't been any new growth in 2 months.

Is it too perky? In pictures I've seen, pothos #plants grow low and look very relaxed.

I have a #GrowLight indirectly shining on it 12 hours a day.

Switch to just the blue light? Move the light closer? 🤔 @plants

#GoldenPothos Day 154

Well, my Golden #Pothos has survived 5 months with me. I'm thinking I'm allowed to adopt another #plant. 😁 I'm also thinking it deserves a friend, so I got an N'Joy Pothos to keep it company.

I'll probably put the N'Joy pot on top of a Timon mug, just like the Golden one.

Yes, I have another 3-dimensional Timon head mug. No shame in that. 🤪🍺 #mugshots #IndoorPlants @plants

#GoldenPothos Day 155
#NJoyPothos Day 1

Got my N'Joy yesterday. I noticed that compared to the younger leaves (and compared to the leaves of Golden), the larger leaves felt like dry paper. Then I realized there was actually a white layer of i-don't-know-what on the leaves. So I wiped them off.

Then today I see white crystals in the #soil. 😳 Hwaaaaat?!

It's growing a new leaf though. So it's ok?
@plants #NewGrowth

@evelynyap Probably just silica gel, is added to lots of compost mixes to retain moisture. Goes in as a fine powder but swells up into squishy little crystal shapes like those.
Usually if I'm adding it, I add only to lower half of the pot so it doesn't show.

@seachaint
Silica gel? 😳 Wow. Didn't know about that being used for plants. Thanks! 😊

So if the soil retains more moisture, I'm guessing I should probably water even less. 🤔

Would that also cause the dry white stuff on the leaves? I wiped them off. Haven't noticed a reoccurrence.

@plants #PlantCare

@evelynyap @plants I can't speak to the dry white stuff I'm afraid, that would depend strongly on the plant and I'm unfamiliar with these ones. For some plants it's normal to produce resins on the leaf surface, maybe always or maybe only under some conditions. For other plants it could be a sign of mildew, or it could be moldy honeydew from hidden parasites like mites, scale bugs, or aphids. I couldn't say..
At least for the silica gel, it absorbs however much it'll absorb, and then it doesn't absorb any more. It's great for plants that can't tolerate having no access to water, though it can probably be bad for some succulents? Again, for your species I couldn't say. TBH I kill enough of my own plants through mismanagement 😅
@evelynyap @plants
What happened to Pumbaa's 3-dimensional head mug?

@manuelcaeiro
I didn't buy his mug.
Anyway, rumor has it that he got roasted.
Lechon! 🐷

No, no.
Fake news.

That is terrible! They were best friends.

@evelynyap
Great work with your image description there, I appreciate it!

@Superfreq
Glad it helps. 🙂

By the way, I'm curious. How are emojis for you?

Like them?
Just okay?
Or dislike them?

@evelynyap
I'd say somewhere between just okay and like them. Most modern screen readers can parse them quite well, if not through their own dictionary than through labels in the program it's self.
I appreciate them for the same reason as most. They express emotion in a better/faster way than text. Though when overused or not parsed properly, or when badly labeled, they are kind of a pain.
However the last two things aren't really the problem of the users posting them.
Nice of you to ask. :)
@evelynyap @plants
Poor you :) Don't worry, I don't think it's dying!
Maybe it's stressed (changed the pot recently?)...
Are the brown spots dry or soft? If they are soft, maybe it needs less watery; if dry, it needs some more humidity in the air (which goes apart from humidity on the roots).
They also need regular temperature and like indirect light, but pothos are quite resistant :)

@Benetako_Arkatiur @plants

Oh! 😯 Thank you so much! 😊🙏 I keep thinking I'm gonna lose another 🍃 and it's about to die. 😅

No, no pot change. That's the original pot. The 🟤 spot is kinda dry. Humidity here is 50-ish % according to my hygrometer. 🤔

I only water when the leaves start to droop / curl down.

❔ Shall I spritz the brown-ish leaf?
✔️ 🌡️ tropical @ around 30°C
✔️ 💡 indirect, low to moderate

@evelynyap You must not blame yourself. Most plants for sale nowadays are forced to root with phytohormones. When there's no more 'drug' in the pot they wither, and sometimes die. Some liquid fertilizers can correct that.
@manuelcaeiro
Oh. I hadn't thought of that.
Good to know. Thanks! 😃
@evelynyap That's a nice bit of vegetation right there.

@spottyfox
Indeed. 🙂❤️🌱

... Except for the long empty part of the stem with nothing but 1 little leaf at the end of it. 😅
