Just looking for some advice…I have had a couple of the top leaves turn yellow on me…I don’t think I’m watering it too much. Just want to keep my pathos well!

Does that pot have drainage holes? If not it might be sitting in some wet soil. If it were me I would get it out and just check the roots to be sure that’s not the problem. I would also chop and prop it just in case. I always do that when I’m having trouble with a plant just in case it doesn’t make it.😊

I agree with Anna. If you don’t have drainage holes, repot it in a nursery pot (plastic pot) and use your existing pot as a cover pot. Cut off the yellow and take some cuttings and propagate in water. In 2-3 weeks you’ll have roots and can plant them to fill out the pot. I’ve done that a few times to my golden.and neon pothos.
