My biggest golden pothos put out this leaf.. I’ve never had the yellow ones get so big. Is something wrong or is she just being off her rocker?

I would say check the roots and if there mushy and brown most likely root rot but I’m most cases it’s just putting more energy into other leaves and it’s getting rid of the older leaves which is completely normal and if that’s the case then just take the leaf off because the leaf is just consuming more energy from the plants than needed or needs more sun/water.

I actually just repotted and it was rootbound to the max 🫣 it looked like uncooked ramen. Idk if that’s why it was so yellow but it needed a repot real bad!

That totally could be the case too
