caring for a household plant?

Question

i have one of those indoor viney plants that can grow multiple feet (dont know the name or breed, sorry). after transporting it recently in very cold weather, many of the leaves have died or are "singed" the plant will survive, but i do i trim these dead and dying areas off, or let them completely die and clean as necessary?

Answer 1

Probably a 'pothos' or 'philodendron' and both are tough. Scientists are still debating whether dying leaves should be removed, one school says they steal water and nutrients, the other says the plant reclaims essential nutrients from the dying leaf before it is discarded. What you don't want to do is fertilize. The plant is stressed, the dying leaves are only half the problem, some of the roots have probably been damaged as well. Fertilizer would be like pouring salt on a wound. Let your plant ''rest" for a few weeks in a relatively cool shady spot. Then move it to a spot similar to the one it lived in before and resume its normal routine. RScott

Answer 2

Get all the dead leaves off and put some sand and miracle
grow in the plant, it will bounce back.
Use room temp water or the leaves may turn yellow.
It may be a wondering dew vine, they are hardy and hard to kill.

Answer 3

CLEAN THEM OUT NOW. THE PLANT WILL HAVE MORE NUTRIENTS TO SEND TO THE LIVE AREAS THUS ALLOWING FOR NEW GROWTH AND FASTER HEALING PROCESS.
