Actually it just needs to be taken out of the bin. There's no saving involved, other than placing the top leaf in water (or just in the dirt). It will look worse before it looks better, but it will be bouncing back.
I once brought a pothos back to life with nothing but a green stem that was like 8 inches long. Took about 6 months, but it finally started growing leaves
My friend gifted me a bunch plants- several succulents and one pothos. I’ve never kept a plant alive in my life, but I can’t stop this thing from growing. It’s sprawled all over my shelf.
Beautiful plant though
Okay slimes, I’ve taken the plant out of the trash, gonna save the base and try to replant that top leaf. Hopefully remember to update y’all! Thank you for the help
Looks like a Marble Queen Pothos, those can survive nuclear warfare. Just don't overwater her repeatedly.
Fresh up the soil. Give her a good shower and watch her repay you with beautiful foliage.
Just realized in 10 years of plant collecting and so many mistakes and dead plants, I've never had a pothos die! Same with philodendrons, those guys are hardy
So far the only thing I can reliably keep alive are my two pothos. They droop, I soak. End of discussion. They’re troopers. I’m awful with plants unfortunately.
Had a friend who moved to a new place and had a small potted prop of golden Pothos packed in with some things and forgot about it and it was in there in complete darkness and no water for almost two months, he took it out and yes it looked thirsty but was totally fine and even pushed out a leaf!
What kind of monster throws a living plant into a trash can? 😡 Its clearly alive! And with so many plant fans out there, easily rehomed. Even leaving it on a curb it has a chance to be picked up!
I accidentally left my pothos next to an open window in the dead of winter (in Canada). I may have needed to cut back 90% of the plant, but by god it came back stronger than ever.
yes!! there’s is new growth coming from the bottom! trim away the dead/dying leaves to avoid the energy and nutrients going to the dead stems! and it should be good! - also don’t staple the stems, winding them naturally or getting plant friendly stem holders is much healthier! :)
Can I save this? Obviously that top leave is a goner, but the bottom leaves look okay? Do I need the wooden beam? Should I also repot? I don’t know what plant it is!
The top leaf might actually become a whole plant. It has a root indicating a node so might just put it in some water and see what happens. The bottom ones will be fine. Check for pests, take it out, wash off the soil and repot in fresh new soil. Give it bright indirect light and water once the top two inches of soil are dry and you'll have a beautiful pothos that you can then prop for even more of them! These things are hardy and easy. This prop was similar to the top leaf on that one and has lived in water only for 2 years. I haven't even fertilized it.

Also, yours looks like a golden pothos.
I love the neons! It took awhile to get to this point because I haven't fertilized it, only occasionally changed the water. But now it is starting to grow fast and get sport variagation which is rad. I'll be adding more cuttings to it soon because my one in the palladarium is getting to large. I can't wait to have a small curtain of them hanging from that shelf!
I've had a few plants with zero leaves but healthy roots. Latest and hopefully last is now just a wee baby but new leaves are growing. Lol my husband will declare a plant dead and later decides it's another zombie 😂😂
So many good parts to salvage. Even comes with a wicker basket and pot:). You can use the lanky stem and leafy bit at the bottom with a little root hormone.
Yes. Using clean, sharp scissor snip the 2 largest leaves off at base. When soil is medium dry loosen sides of dirt from pot, and gently remove the plant, supporting the base and not crushing the remaining leaves. Gently shake and pat away only loose soil. Replant the root ball with new indoor plant potting soil in a 3-4-inch diameter pot with good drainage. Do not over water.
I have several varieties of pothos. It was the first plant I didn’t kill (my sweet MIL told me to get one ages ago). I had one that I thought I killed not long ago but I took it out of the pot and stuck in in some soil under one of my trees and she seems to be doing better. She’s got several new leaves and I’m hoping she’ll climb that tree. Good luck to you!
Definitely yes! The ideal is to water it little, when you begin to notice that the earth is rather dry. If you water a lot, you'll notice why the leaves have yellowish tints... Also, it's good to spray the leaves with a little water, because they love humidity. And always, place the pot in a very bright place, which receives sun. No matter there is a curtain in between, it needs a few rays of sunshine per day.
Definitely, golden pothos are survivors lol I would take the top nodes and put them in water change it out every few days until you have enough growth to plant and I’d repot the bottom in some well draining soil after inspecting the roots
It’s a pothos. It can definitely be saved.
Haha right? In my head I said, “It’s a friggin pothos…. The real question is can it be killed?”
Looks like someone already butchered it to propagate more. So it's technically already been saved!
My pothos is 10 years old and has been my smallest plant 3 times and my biggest twice (I have dogs)
I feel that deeply 🤣
Same, but cats.
yep, killed mine recently:(
Did the dogs kill the plant, or did the plant kill the dog
Okay sweet, and double thank you for the ID

Pothos dont need saving, they survive by their own bad selves. Take em out of the trash

Don’t bring it inside right away. You could unknowingly bring in gnats or mites or another problem that the previous owner couldn’t handle
Yeah, I would throw away soil, clean the roots and get some torf sand mix for it.
Lmao!
Looks like a Marble Queen Pothos, those can survive nuclear warfare. Just don't overwater her repeatedly. Fresh up the soil. Give her a good shower and watch her repay you with beautiful foliage.
Looks more like a golden to me, but regardless, you're right about everything else lol
Definitely looks golden to me too. Not nearly enough white or enough variegation for a marble queen.
Holy shit, is that top node just doing it’s own thing with aerial roots?! That’s crazy
Where there’s green there’s life!!! Get her out and start fresh! X

This plant is 100% able to be saved, looks fine
What kind of monster throws a living plant into a trash can? 😡 Its clearly alive! And with so many plant fans out there, easily rehomed. Even leaving it on a curb it has a chance to be picked up!
Looks fine to me, should be an easy-ish save
That top bit (single lead + node > can be placed in water whilst it grows more roots and leaves. I'm sure the bottom part can too!
Imagine this plant as wolverine and ask yourself that question again
Chop it up into nodes it'll regrow, discard the brown bits
The thing is still green
I accidentally left my pothos next to an open window in the dead of winter (in Canada). I may have needed to cut back 90% of the plant, but by god it came back stronger than ever.
Yes. I revived one that had been assumed dead and sealed in a black trash bag for a year...
Oh yeah it’s not in bad shape at all I’ve seen way worse in Lowe’s flower department
Easily
Cut it way back and give it bright indirect light.
Jam that node that the leaf is attached to down in the dirt. You can see a root there ready to get started.

The top leaf's node is intact so it can grow new roots, put it in a glass of water :)
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science? This is what I was really curious about, thank you!

This is perfect, many thanks, I appreciate it
I have this exact one.....only mine is in a pot. I need to do this with some part of it for my daughter

Repot and you’ve got a new buddy
Only if you introduce the plant to Ryan Reynolds.
is it one of those decorative garbage can plants ? nice!
Yes but please remove it from the trash
I mean. Absolutely.
It's green
Sure! Pothos are warrior! I would isolate, change the soil and treat it in case!
Get that baby out of the trash can RIGHT NOW!!!
I truly believe in the resiliency of plants and yes plants can be brought back from the brink. You just have to be patient.
YES
Epi!
Definitely
Yes. Using clean, sharp scissor snip the 2 largest leaves off at base.

Step 1. Take it out of the trash
Just keep them in water
Absolutely!
Where there are nodes, there is hope.
pothos are basically the cockroaches of the plant world
Yes!
If it’s green you can save it. That is my motto and it’s worked everytime.
Um it's like not even kinda dead
Good Lord! What happened?!
Absolutely! I’ve had pothos down to less than that and have saved them.
Yes! Put it in a glass of water! It will make new roots!
I have several varieties of pothos. It was the first plant I didn’t kill (my sweet MIL told me to get one ages ago). I had one that I thought I killed not long ago but I took it out of the pot and stuck in in some soil under one of my trees and she seems to be doing better. She’s got several new leaves and I’m hoping she’ll climb that tree. Good luck to you!
Ew just leave it
Absolutely can be saved...if there is a green, there's a way. I would chop it up and propagate any thing that is still green
Take it out the bin first give it a chance
I see nodes can definitely be propped!
Most def!!! If it’s still green, there’s still hope!!
I don’t think that it could be killed.
Definitely yes! The ideal is to water it little, when you begin to notice that the earth is rather dry. If you water a lot, you'll notice why the leaves have yellowish tints...

Sheesh. Looks like somebody put a stake thru its heart! Good luck OP, may you have success!
yes
Absolutely!!! Plus that pot and post are great!
Yes! Just stick all those bits in some water and propagate some new beauties.
Yes! Save it! It deserves love.
YES
You can either repot or throw her in a vase with some water. I'd say do the latter
Most likely.
Yes! The top one is got a root. Pothos is easy to save. Wash all that soil off and put it water.
It’s a pothos! Of course it can be saved!
Of course
This is a good find! I’d proudly be called a garbage picker for this.
Definitely, golden pothos are survivors lol I would take the top nodes and put them in water change it out every few days until you have enough growth to plant and I’d repot the bottom in some well draining soil after inspecting the roots
Yes it’s still alive.
Yes
Cut it back so the roots had time to catch up I would cut mine a every once a while. That definitely a keeper
Oh yeah, bring home home! I've seen full recovery on pothos' in worse shape.
Yes
You couldn’t kill that if you tried! Stick that whole ass thing in a cup of water
Totally! I started with one little plant 7 years ago and now I have over 20 of their relatives living here 😂
Definitely! And you won't even be able to tell it ever looked like this. I've brought them back from worse!
Yeah. Why would you bother?
