What is wrong with my pathos?


Question:I had a healthy, robust pathos. It had vines that were 5 feet long. Then I moved it and although it's still facing the same direction, it gets a lot more light. Now all the leaves are shriveling up, but they are still green. It doesn't need water, I still give it the same amount as I always did. Is it ever going to recover from the shock of the move?

Answers:
Leaves that shrivel when green are usually responding to insect attacks.C heck your plant closely for signs of aphids or other pests. They may be on the backs of leaves, on the axils or stems, or be so tiny they're hard to see. Holding a piece of white paper under the affected leaves, gently shake plant. If there are tiny specks on the paper it is very likely infested. Rinse the plant well in room temp water - a drop or two of dishsoap may help. Do it again in about 2 weeks and keep an eye on it. The old leaves won't smooth out but look at the new growth for sign of shriveling. Your plant may have already had insects but was slightly stressed by the move. If worse, comes to worse - Pothos can recover from a severe cutting back quite well...usually they look healthier when the new growth fills anyhow.
