Hello, my pothos has a yellow leaf, unsure why this is happening. I try really hard not to overwater it, I wait until the soil is very dry and make sure the water is drained. I still have it in the nursery pot. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated!

This doesn’t seem overwatered to me. It sounds like you’re caring for it well. To me, the way the leaves are curling makes it look like it’s thirsty. But if the soil isn’t dry yet, I would check the roots. And that dead leaf may just be old.

Ah thank you Riley! Do you suggest I take out the old leaf or should I keep it in there?

Since there’s no green left, just pull it off and it’ll be fine
