# I purchased this Pearl and Jade Pothos two weeks ago. It was…

_Posted by Lori on 2025-06-19_

I purchased this Pearl and Jade Pothos two weeks ago. It was initially hung in a sunroom (western facing direct light) and some of the top leaves began to turn yellow. I moved it to a lower light in a darker corner of the living room and it looked very unhappy there (a few more turning leaves and overall rather droopy despite watering.) I moved it today to the other side of the living room where it gets indirect sunlight from French doors. I’ve attached a picture. Any recommendations?

Usually too much light doesn't produce yellowing like that. Its generally watering or a root issue, so id check both. It is possible that the yellowing is just old leaves as well. Or the other thing would be to check well fir any pests

Thank you! No pests. It was purchased from a shaded greenhouse where it was misted once a day, so it may just be adjusting to a new environment and watering schedule.

So could definitely be drier than it was used to

That’s what I’m thinking too, so I’ve been trying to water it more without overwatering!

Just misting 1-2x a day should help. On a normal watering schedule
