Plants! Keeping one alive, any advice?

[Ghostbirb]

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well. Recently I took down and all the plants out of Nachitos cage, and cleaned everything up. I have this one pothos that is struggling. The thing is, it’s the only plant from when I first got her that ha survived, and it feels like a memento now that she’s gone.
It’s about three years old, and I’d be heartbroken if it completely died. I know it’s in rough shape, but does anyone have advice on how to try and revive it?
(I know it desperately needs to be repotted, but I currently don’t have the resources to do that until college is out for the summer)

I don’t have much advice, but I would propagate at least some of the green ends. You can cut of a part with the little nub (in the picture). let it sit out for 24 hours then put in water until roots develop. After I move them into a little pot and bottom water the plant. I had to do this to Sherbert’s plants a few times, and it worked pretty much each time.

You can totally save that. Cut back every single vine down about 2-3 inches. Then take it strip the soil and repot in good soil. Water it. Within about 2-3 weeks you will see new growth. I did this with one of Beman's originals that completely died back. Now it is growing like crazy.

Thank you!!!! I took a few cutting and plopped them in water. Then cut back all the vines just a little longer, like to a foot max! I’m going to try and get a new pot for it soon too. Fingers crossed, I can’t bare to see this plant die

I would repot the Pothos then place the repotted Pothos on a dish in a window sill that receives lots sunlight (if you have got one). Then water the Pothos daily till the plant recovers. That should revive your Pothos.

you want to cut all the vines back to 2-3 inches from the soil... Otherwise the plant is still going to try to feed the longer dying pieces and it will not do as well.

Alright, sounds good! I’ll make sure to cut them back more! I’m rather scared it’s just going to die off either way, but anything to try and keep it alive

It’s probably a bit late, but I just came across this and thought maybe it’ll help.

Hey guys! Hopping back in here to see if anyone knows what may be going on with my pothos again! It’s been doing great after cutting the vines back and has been growing well! Recently I’ve noted these yellow spots on the leaves- anyone have any clue what the cause is and how to stop it?
This leaf was the worst (I cut it off), but I’ve seen similar spotting on a few others as well

Here’s some more info on the plants as well: few months back I removed all its vines (they where in bad shape obviously from the post above) and repotted it into a larger pot (was root bound… my mistake), so it now has new healthier growth, it does have a gnat infestation that I have been struggling to fight, it is under a plant light timer for 12 hours a day, it gets watered about once a week. Plus I haven’t fertilized it in a while and humidity is probably on the lower end due to living in Colorado.

Could be anything from too much water or too little, needing fertilizer, or pest bugs. And nice to see you

Thanks for the response!!! Good to see you as well!!! Aw man for complex plant problems though

For gnats, I highly recommend mosquito dunks crushed up, or just mosquitoe bits...

My thread on the buggers: they're almost completely gone from my place! But other pests took over.

I don't see any evidence of bugs, other than gnats, luckily! So, it's probably the environment. Maybe that leaf caught too much moisture in that spot. Keep monitoring it, I hope it's not bugs! Keep us updated!
