if you're watering it like usual, it could be from lack of light because of the season change. My pothos did the same thing and dropped a good 20% of its leaves in protest lol. If you wanted you could check its roots to see if theres any rot but I wouldn't be too worried. let the yellow leaves stay on for as long as you can stand them

Thank you! I repotted it a while back and the roots looked quite good, I think the winter light has sent all my plants into abit of a frenzy 🥴

Less water, especially during winter months (unless you’re already doing that) or maybe more light if it’s not getting as much light as it’s used to.

I have held off on the water for a good while now. My moisture meter is still saying it’s moist towards the roots. Will definitely think about moving it closer to the window

I would not rely solely on the water meter. Check with a meat skewer or chopstick to ensure the soil is dry all the way to the bottom.

Ooo interesting - can you clarify on what the reason is for this? Or how to tell with a meat skewer? I’ve been very reliant on my moisture meter 😅
