Pothos root rot!!! Help!

[CactusBoss]

My pothos is in the very early stages of root rot cause of poor soil. What should I do?!!

[CactusBoss]

My Pothos died. Thank you Walmart!

My simpaties. It is allways bad to hear such news even if it didn't happen in my GH.

[CactusBoss]

Yeah, i will no longer do plant business with Walmart . I'm going to buy a new one tomorrow, but this time at my local nursery. What kind of potting soil works for them as well as Aglaonema? is Espoma any good?

[CactusBoss]

Here's the replacement!

The root rot was more likely caused by overwatering than poor soil. You can do pretty much anything to a pothos (Epipremnum aureum) and it will be fine as long as you don't overwater it.

Killing my previous Pothos made me feel like I couldn't grow plants because my aunt has a Pothos( she has a black thumb) that she has kept alive for years!. Then there's me(who has a fair amount of luck growing plants) who kills one of the easiest houseplants in the world lolol.

Don't feel too bad. I managed to kill an air fern -- quite a trick for something that wasn't alive! I kept shaking it to remove dust and it fell to bits.

Wow that's beyond a black thumb. I hope i can keep this and my new dieffenbachia. I'm concerned about the dieffenbachia regarding low humidity,
