It could need both light and water. I don’t think it’s over watered since I don’t see the usual black spots on the leaves and stems.

The large gaps between the leaf nodes indicates it’s looking for light. A pothos from a nursery usually has one inch gaps between the leaf nodes because they get a lot of light. No need to fast grow the vines to find light.

I recommend checking the soil to the bottom of the pot and water if little or no moisture found. Let dry out between waterings.

Add a grow light to get 12 hours of light on the plant per day.

I corrected it. I meant to state it doesn’t look over watered.

It looks like it’s over watered. That’s really the only way you mess up pathos. And pathos actually don’t need growlights. They grow with normal light also. I take out the yellow pieces and check the roots it might need a smaller pot now that some of the vines are damaged.

Also I hate plastic pots I use clay pots it absorbs excess water.
