Money Plant Leaf Yellowing & Root Rot
mediumMoney Plant (Golden Pothos) is one of the most beloved indoor plants in Indian homes, prized for its lush foliage and easy maintenance. However, it frequently suffers from yellowing leaves, leaf spots, and stem rot when subjected to incorrect watering routines or poor drainage. In typical Indian household settings, overwatering during the humid monsoon months or placing plants in pots without adequate drainage holes leads to fungal root rot. Conversely, keeping the Money Plant in continuously air-conditioned rooms can dry out the air, leading to crisp brown leaf edges and stunted growth. To ensure healthy growth, provide bright indirect sunlight, use a airy potting mix rich in coco peat, and allow the top layer of soil to dry out completely between waterings.
