might be overwatering. also i don’t think it’s a pothos i think it’s a heart leaf philodendron. they prefer to dry out a bit before watering. if it’s not drying out before you water again you might want to repot and get a soil with better drainage

Gotcha!! It was listed as a pothos at the store i got it, but you’re right it’s a heartleaf! Thank you for the info - I’ll let it dry out. I added some fertilizer today though, i hope that isn’t hurting it more

It could be an old leaf dying off if it is only one leaf.
