Yellow leaves on golden pothos. Any idea of the cause and how to treat?

Looks like overwatering! Use the chopstick method to check the soil before you water!

Do you wait till the whole chop stick comes out dry?

#### Dawn replied on 2023-12-10

Poke the chopstick into the soil and the pull it out. If it looks wet than wait a couple more days, if just the small tip of the chopstick is wet, you can still water. If it come out fully dry then water your plants. You can check there soil like that multiple times a week if you’d like.

You can leave the chopstick in the soil for multiple minutes or just wiggle the chopstick then pull it out, I’m here if you need any more tips
