When can I change to a bigger pot? Is there a resting time for the plant?

November 30, 2015A.Pothos plants do not need a dormancy period.
You can move the plant to 1 size large pot and use a good quality potting soil if the plant has stopped growing or if it has been in the same pot for a year or more.
Make sure the pot has adequate drainage.

Santa Barbara, CAQ.Help!! My golden pothos has holes
So I recently bought a golden pathos plants from a nursery here in Santa Barbara, CA. It is a houseplant. I repotted it in a plastic pot with holes along the rim at the bottom for drainage. I use Miracle-Gro Moisture Control potting soil and Dr. Earth all-purpose fertilizer. I have the plant set on a relatively high shelf right next to the window that doesn't get much direct sunlight. I've noticed that several of the leaves have these brown-rimmed holes on the inside of the leaf, and others have chunks of the leaf removed from their outer ends. The leaves don't feel dry; however, some do have slightly brownish tips but it doesn't seem too noticeable. My questions are, am I doing something wrong to the plant? Or is this some sort of mechanical issue? Also I only water it when the top of the soil seems dry, but is it possible that the plant is still getting over watered? And my last question is, what should I do with the leafs that have these brown spots? Thank you for your help and time! I am a new plant owner and somewhat inexperienced.

FayettevilleQ.Spots on pothos
I have light brown spots on my pothos leaves. They have slowly increased in number ever since I put my pothos outside last summer. What is wrong with her?

December 23, 2015A.Since your plant was outdoors it very well could be a fungus issue on your plant.
Clip out any leaves with signs of disease by pinching or use a clean garden snip. Clean the tools with alcohol after use to prevent spreading of the fungus.
Make sure the soil is drying between waterings and do not splash water unto the leaves.
Adding some air circulation can help. If the plant is quite full you can also prune out some growth to improve circulation.
If the problem persists use Neem Oil as a treatment. Neem Oil works as both an insecticide an fungicide. It is safe for people and pets.Here are some links to help you.

KingstonQ.Pothos
I have a lovely Pothos which has grown exceedingly long. In the process, it has lost leaves long sections of its stem. Is there any way of getting the plant to regenerate new leaves along these defoliated sections?
- Answered by
Downtoearthdigs on
January 8, 2016A.No, the stems will not generate new leafs in open sections.
Keeping the plant pruned will help you retain a full and lush plant.

781008Q.pothos plant
I have two small pothos plants purchased from one of the nearby nursery. The one I planted in soil in a mixture of organic manure, cow dung and garden soil directly by digging a small hole. And the another one I planted in a plastic jar filled with clear water. All this procedure I have done almost 1 month back, but still my plants in both cases are in the same stage of growth as they were on the day of purchase. I am taking well care, giving sunlight, proper cow dung and organic local manure but still they are not growing. Instead, they are on the way of dying. Please help and suggest me some helpful ways to make them grow and creep my bamboo wall of my room to ceiling.

55369Q.Pothos care
I water my pothos on a daily basis and the soil will be bone dry within an hour. Its stalks are getting kinda shriveled as if it is dehydrated. I was thinking of moving it to a larger pot and changing the soil, but I just don't know. What should I do?
- Answered by

March 22, 2016A.Yes, it sounds as if your plant needs to be repotted.
Select a pot that is 1 to 2 sizes larger then it is in now. If it is in an 8" pot, choose a 10 or 12" pot. Make sure it has a drainage hole.Use a good quality general potting soil for you plant.
After you repot the plant you will not need to water as often, so be sure to check the soil before watering.
It should dry slightly between waterings.
