My Pothos plant has begun to get small white things on it. What do I do? It looks weird. The plant has been in only one room since I got it a year ago.
please describe "white things". Where are they located, what size are they, do they move or fly, are they cottony looking and any other information.
I want to transplant my Oregonian pothos to a bigger pot. I have a beautiful pot but has no holes in the bottom.
It would be best if it had holes, simply because it makes taking care the plant easier in terms of making sure it is getting the right amount of water.
That being said, you can use a pot without holes as long as you are careful about watering. Just don't add too much water to it and the plant will be fine.
Does a pothos cutting have to be rooted in water before placing in dirt or can a cutting be placed directly in dirt? Also, I put some cuttings into some dirt after being rooted in water and they are not doing well. What can I do?
While it roots easily in water, it is always better to root cuttings in soil like potting mix, perlite, vermiculite, or other solid medium. Some plants that are rooted too long in water simply learn to live in water and cannot live outside of an all water environment. Some examples of these plants are pothos and philodendron. Once plants develop enough roots to survive on their own, you should move them to soil. If yours is not doing well, it could be that the soil is either too wet or too dry.

The leaves on my pothos are turning yellow. I have had the plant in direct sunlight. The leaves started turning yellow so I moved it to a place with indirect sunlight. The leaves are turning yellow now on numerous leaves. What can I do to stop this? Thanks for your help.
This is commonly caused by over watering. When you go to water, feel the top inch or so of the soil. If it is dry, water the plant, if it is not, do not water the plant. This will ensure you are watering to the plant's needs.

I have 3 pothos and they all have these white tiny spots or bugs on them. Don't know how to rid them of these.
These are probably mealybugs. This article will help you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/mealybugs-white-residue-on-plants-leaves.htm
My significant other has a pothos vine plant that was his mother's. Yesterday his dog escaped her crate and pulled all the leaves off it. Is there anything that can be done to save the plant? The stems/vines are intact, but all the leaves are gone. Is it possible to do cuttings from the existing stems? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated, as the plant is very special--his mother had it for years and recently passed away.
I would just give it some time. These are very resilient plants, so I think you have a good chance of it regrowing its leaves. You can trim off 4-6 inches off a vine and put it in water to root as a precaution, but it is likely the mother plant will regrow its leaves. Continue to water, but only water it when the soil is just dry to the touch on top. If it is not getting much light now (as healthy pothos can be happy in low light situations), I would move it somewhere a little brighter. Keep a sharp eye out for pests, as they will be attracted to a damaged plant. You should see signs of new leaf growth at the old leaf nodes in about 1-2 weeks.
Can a pothos grow ok on my porch during the summer months? I know it is a houseplant but as hardy as it is, it seems like it might work on the porch if not too hot or too cold? What would be too hot or too cold if it would grow on my porch?
Yes, you can place pothos outdoors in summer; however, be sure to locate it where it will not be in the direct sun during the hottest part of the day. In other words, morning sun no afternoon sun, as this could quickly scorch the plant. I would not let it be in temps that are much lower than 50 F. If it will be lower than that, bring it inside.
