Hi all! I got this pothos as my first plant just over a month ago. It’s hanging between a large west facing window and door, about 10 ft so it gets a lot of indirect light. I’ve been watering about every 2 weeks and it has been growing pretty nicely. Following planta recommendations I used liquid fertilizer (10-15-10) for the first time 5 days ago and now a bunch of leaves have turned yellow. The diagnosis on the app is over watering but I do make sure to let it dry out before watering. I just got a moisture meter and it’s showing that the pot is already completely dry only 5 days after watering/fertilizing. So over watering doesn’t seem right, if anything I think I may have been under watering. Any ideas on what could be my issue? Thank you!

    I’m curious if there are two types of pothos in there. I’m guessing, yes. If not the leaves were reverted and now aren’t or the other way around. Is this happening to newer leaves, older leaves, middle of the vine, or all of the above? Is it root bound? Is the soil hydrophobic? Do you top or bottom water?

      Im not sure if it’s two different types, it had both the dark green and variegated vines when I bought it and it was just labeled as a marble queen. I’m pretty sure the vines haven’t changed colour since I bought it a month ago. The yellowing is happening to leaves at the top of the longer vines so I’m guessing those are older ones. I’m not sure if it’s root bound or about the soil it’s still in the original pot from the nursery that has a different drainage hole that kind of seals itself so I can’t see roots coming out of it. I top water. Do you think my best option might be to just try to repot it?
