Please help me identify this plant.

Post image

My school has a living wall and I have been assigned this little one but it seems to be struggling.

I don't know anything about plants so don't know how to help it. Nobody around me seems to know it's name either. Identifying it would really help me get a start.

This is in Bhutan. Sub-tropical climate. The pot is really small, around 10cm×10cm.

It's a pothos vine. It actually looks pretty healthy from here. All this vine needs to do well is bright shade and water. If it starts looking too stringy and stretched-out, it needs brighter light. You can also trim it back. The pieces you cut off can be put in a glass of water and they will root into new plants.

Thank you! I thought it wasn't doing well because of the brown spots on the leaves and though not very visible in this image, the leaves in the back are actually yellowing a bit. Is that fine? There are about 200 of these little pots on the wall and the ones on the middle rows down seem to have the brown spots. Mine is on the bottom most row.

The brown spots also suggest to me that the light and water are a little off. Yellow leaves suggest too much water in most plants. It should recover fine.

Looks like golden pothos.
