Hey everyone, my pothos recently got a yellow leaf. It's one of the oldest leaves. I trimmed down a couple vines so that it still drapes nicely but stops growing from that vine as it is autumn and it's only pushing out small growth. There's also vines that seem to have tried to push out new leaves but gave up and kept growing out the vine until one leaf actually grew out. I wanna trim that one to the last actual leaf because it just looks bad lol. Any tips are appreciated...

Trim away. Pothos don't mind a haircut

It's sounds like the vines are not getting enough nutrients, or have you reported recently? Possible that vine didn't root correctly?!?  
Do you top or bottom water?  
What fertilizer are you using?  
Is that vine getting enough light?
