Why is my Pothos getting sad looking?

It’s properly watered on its schedule, fertilized, and has drainage. Lately, it has gotten wilted and is losing a lot of leaves as they yellow and brown. I’ve had in in this pot and space for multiple years now and it’s grown many feet. Plz help!!

I’d say needs to be split. Maybe it’s just. Too much for the pot

I’d take it out and examine roots. Might need a bigger pot or to be split if you don’t want a bigger pot. Check roots and soil also for any rot or pests.

Over watering

it looks like you probably need to transfer pots and dry it out for a bit. If you are ever hesitant of watering in a schedule, check the soil dampness and adjust your watering schedule
