I've never personally had a golden pothos do this, but I do know that the more light they get the higher varigation they produce. I don't think it's an issue if that's what you're asking

The funny part is that I haven’t even been giving it significant light… it’s just been reaching towards a grow light that I have at 25% about 6 feet away 😆

They can produce high varigation. But that seems a bit excessive 😆 could start a new cultivar if it's stable

I know 😅 I keep waiting for the white parts to die off but they’re staying strong!

The pothos white i definitely have found more resilient than others like monstera. But I've been using Silica for a few months and haven't had any new browning on those
