# My pothos has been doing amazing, but all of a sudden she’s started…

_Posted by Rebecca on 2023-05-25_

My pothos has been doing amazing, but all of a sudden she’s started to get yellow leaves pretty consistently. No change to her water, light, or routine 🙁 Her vines have gotten pretty long, and there’s no roots growing out the bottom, but is it possible she’s outgrown the pot? Any ideas! 🙏🏽

That looks like over watering, unpot it and cut off the dead roots, give it new soil (and a smaller pot if there aren’t very many roots anymore), and water less frequently. Try sticking a chopstick in the soil before watering to see how wet it is, I like to let my pothos dry out half to 3/4 of the way

I agree with Alice. I’d also trim and propagate to add more fullness to the plant

I killed mine same variety same way, overwatering. They like to dry out between waterings more than you think apparently.
