Help! I’m new with pothos.  
Only one leaf is turning yellow, it has the same texture as the other leaves.  
What can I do?

Let it rock! When it’s crispy tug it off gently. My pothos are always shedding :)

Thank you

No you should try and cut it off so the other leaves don’t turn yellow

#### V🌱 replied on 2024-05-28

By what mechanism will the other leaves turn yellow?

#### V🌱 replied on 2024-05-28

Idk I let my yellow leaves stay until they’re brown and one of my pothos is 20ft long

I agree  
Also, maybe consider repotting in all purpose potting mix  
I see that you are using a different kind and I use all purpose  
It works well but it’s up to you
