My marble pothos is getting yellow dead leafs at the root, but the hanging sections look green, healthy, and are growing new leafs.  
Any idea if I should be changing my care for it?

Comparison of the upper yellow leafs to the lower leafs!

Could be some leaves are old and dying but also I would say give it more light. If the top is losing a lot of leaves that could be a sign to give it more light. Sending plant vibes right now💚
