# My pothos Freddy’s leaves have individually been going yellow like…

_Posted by Persi\_Person on 2023-09-12_

My pothos Freddy’s leaves have individually been going yellow like this. The last three were just baby leaves but her biggest leaf has now gone yellow and I’m starting to get worried. I’m not an experienced plant owner so if anyone could help me out here, that would be great.

From all the pothos videos I’ve watched those kinds of leaves are a sign that your plant needs repotting, I think? But you said that you had leaves growing so maybe I am wrong.

You may be right. Now that I think about it, Freddy is overdue for a repotting.

Best of luck with that !! I believe in you

For me my Pothos leaves were turning yellow, it’s because my water had too much calcium since it’s from a well, and i switch to fontaine water and it got so much better maybe that will also help

#### Persi\_Person replied on 2023-09-12

I water my plants with bottled spring water bc I read it’s better for them than tap water. Do you think there would be calcium in that?

I just repotted mine yesterday because of yellowing leaves and small new leaves. Seems to do the trick usually

Other problem could be low light

### SarahJay commented on 2023-09-13

In my experience, yellowing leaves happens when the plant isn’t getting enough light which causes too much moisture in the soil. I would put it in a sunnier spot and reduce how often you water. Switching to more a chunky soil would help if you’re thinking it needs to be repotted also.
