I have a golden Pothos does anyone know why I keep on having yellow leaves like this? It looks like they’re also growing from the roots.

Definitely overwatering, pothos like to dry out. Typically it takes about 2 weeks in the summer and 3-4 weeks in the winter but always check the soil before watering. There’s no specific amount of water you should give it, just saturate the soil. Overwatering isn’t about giving a plant “too much water” it’s watering too often.
