A few of my Golden Pothos leaves are turning yellow and going soft - plus the black spots on that one leaf. The soil also smells a bit funky, sort of damp? Is this a case of root rot? Any advice is appreciated!

eatyacarbssounds like rot, yup! get it out of that pot, wash away all the old soil from the roots, cut away roots that are black/mushy/smelly, dip or spray with hydrogen peroxide, and repot into something that drains better. adding more perlite to your fresh soil at the very least

Rot can also happen if you have the plant in a pot that is too big and has too much soil. Make sure when you repot that it is in a pot about 1-2 inches larger than the root system and don’t compact the soil to where it can’t breathe. I hope all goes well!
