What to Do When a Pothos Wilts: Pay Attention to Watering Methods and Frequency

A pothos should look moist and plump to show it is growing well, but some people find that the pothos they are growing wilts as time goes by, with its leaves drooping down, as if it is about to wither. So what should you do when a pothos wilts? How should you fix it?

There are several reasons why pothos leaves wilt:
1. Occasional wilting is normal metabolism during the growing season, but the intervals are relatively long.
2. Overwatering or drought; water should be given by the "see dry, see wet" rule.
3. Fertilizer should be stopped after the weather turns cool in autumn.
4. Indoors, pay attention to light and ventilation.
5. In winter, water should be sprayed appropriately.
Also: when a pothos has many yellow and wilted leaves, the cause is mostly the roots. Yellow and wilted leaves are only the surface sign; when the roots rot, the leaves turn yellow and wilt.
Each time, you do not need to water a pothos too much, nor too frequently. In this autumn season, use a spray bottle to spray it every 3-4 days to moisten the soil. Do not water until it leaks through, as this easily causes lazy roots, and do not let it get too dry either; keep the soil moist.
In summer, do not put it in the sun to bake. In spring and autumn it needs plenty of sunlight, and it should be placed in a ventilated spot, avoiding strong winds.
Pothos has a very strong ability to adapt to its environment. As long as it is not frozen, it will not die if it is regularly ventilated and given some sun. Once it is frozen, it dies very quickly. In winter, water it less; frequently spraying water on the leaf surface is enough.
What should you do when a pothos wilts? When growing pothos, you should water it regularly. Especially now in summer, when the sun is intense, it is best to water once in the morning and once in the evening every day to prevent the pothos from becoming wilted due to lack of water, but remember not to water too much.
