I purchased a beautiful golden pothos from a nursery about two months ago. It is healthy and has had lots of new growth since then. However, when I bought the plant I noticed that the stalks of each individual leaf are slightly brown and dry at the edges, where they split to grow. These brown bits crumble off when I touch them. This is not happening on the new growth, and the leaves with the brown edges show no other signs of being dry or diseased, besides one or two that have dry brown edges. Is this something to worry about? (The first photo is one of the leaves I'm concerned about, the second is new growth). Thank you!

It does sound like normal growth, as some older stems may have some browning or peeling.

There appears to be fuzzy crap here and there on a few of my houseplants. I believe that they are Mealybugs. I cleaned one plants up pretty good, wiped leaves, stalks, stems, pot pretty well. .. however seeming to return. Now, I think they have traveled from one plants to the next, and I have Several! What to do?
It is hard to tell if this is insect related or white mildew related, but luckily both can benefit from similar treatment. Neem oil will take care of either of these problems. There are many other ways to treat either of these as well.

Name: Golden Pothos, Age: 10 days (since I bought it), Disease: Overwatered, Treatment: Put out all the soil from the plant and left it to dry for 3-4 hours. Restored the config but Plant isn't responding. It wasn't dead before pulling the soil. Its 24 hrs
I can't see the soil well, but it looks very compact. This would hold more water than these will tolerate. They will grow in, just about, anything else. Potting soil, with very little fertilizer in it will be best, as long as you only water it when it is almost completely dry.

I have yellow mushrooms growing in my pothos plants. Are they dangerous if my dogs eat them ?
A small percentage of mushrooms may be toxic to dogs, so it would be best to keep them from you pet.
Check with a vet to be safe.
Hi, I have pothos hanging in a window that gets indirect light. The center of the plant (the area directly above the soil) is browning and dying. The leaves just fall right off when I touch them. The hanging vines, however, are sturdy with no signs of problems. I recently checked the roots for rot and there is none. I water when the top inch or two of soil are dry and the pot has drainage. The plant is still growing steadily, but it is just losing volume at the base/center. Is there something wrong? Could I be doing something better? Or is that normal for the plant to lose volume at the base? Thank you!
The center of the plant may have died out from lack of light or even can be due to watering down the center of the plant.
This might be a time to propagate come new plants from the long tendrils.

All my leaves have fallen off of my ivy plant what do I do
I believe the plant is question is a pothos? Is this correct? There are a few reasons why it would lose leaves, or they can also become deformed instead. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/pothos/poor-pothos-leaf-growth.htm
an ything, but I don't want to go digging around in it too much to look!
This is, simply, the water pushing out the air in the soil as it filters down to the bottom of the container. This will be more pronounced if there are no drain holes at the bottom, as the air will all have to escape out of the top. There is nothing to worry about here.
