    What’s the diameter of the pot? Two sounds like a long time to go without water.

      I read the other comments. They contradict because people have different experiences with pothos. Environments are different. My zone 9a hot Texas climate will dry out a pothos in a 6” pot in about 5 days. The leaves look like they are 1) getting too much water, 2) they are older leaves dying off or 3) they need more light. Older dying leaves are not an issue. Its normal. It doesn’t look like the entire plant has a low light issue. The plant looks great. Not much else you can do. You are already checking that it’s almost dry before watering. Also, check the leaves look like they need water. The leaf tips will curl slightly backwards and the leaves will look less perky. That’s the best you can do. I would just watch it and see if these are the only leaves turning yellow. 🍀🪴

    Pothos usually require water once a week or 5 days. You may want to increase water and eventually the leaves will get better.

    I’m wondering how big your pot is, and what kind of soil you’re using. I have four Pothos, and their pots are anywhere from 6 inches to 9 inches. They ask to be watered anywhere from 18 days to 19 days. They’re all healthy, and have no browned tips on their leaves. I’m wondering if you’re watering too much, and perhaps that’s the reason for the yellowing leaves. How are you checking the moisture level in your plant? Are you using a wooden stake, a moisture meter, or just your fingers? Filling in this information will help Planta members help you. Good luck! 🤗💚🪴

    I had this problem with one of my pothos too until i increased the watering/misting. I’d try watering it at least once a week without letting the soil get completely dry. ☺️ Hope this helps!!

    Are you checking to see if the soil is dry to the bottom of the pot before watering? Pothos are extremely drought tolerant and really prefer to dry out.
