I am propagating a clipping of a Pothos. The leaves are starting to turn yellow. Is there some thing that I need to do?

There are no roots to support that many leaves and that long stem. Cut that clipping into two or three pieces. Leave enough leaf nodes on each clipping to put one or more nodes under water with one node above water where new leaves will grow. Remove all leaves underwater. They will eventually rot. Change the water at least once a week or more often. It should be fine.

This ^^^ 100%

I will do that. Just note there are no leaves in the water.
