Spent two years watering my pothos on a strict Sunday schedule before I figured out what I was doing
I kept losing leaves every winter and blamed my apartment in Denver for being too dry. Then last month I stuck my finger in the soil on a random Wednesday and it was still soaked from Sunday, so the poor thing had been sitting in wet dirt for months. Turns out I was watering on a calendar instead of checking the soil, and the black tips I thought were a humidity problem were actually root rot starting. Anyone else get tricked by a schedule instead of just feeling the dirt?

The Sunday schedule thing got me too, my monstera was sitting in soggy soil for who knows how long before I caught on. That "dry air" diagnosis is such a trap, meanwhile the roots are drowning the whole time.
