My pothos keeps developing these bright yellow leaves while the rest look generally healthy. Anyone know what this means?

Over watering

Old leaves generally die off , I wouldn’t worry about it too much

Too much water

in my experience, it’s just the older leaves time to go! but my pothos does this when it needs a repotting as well, if the new leaves are growing slower and smaller then probably time to repot it.

although i agree with everyone else. i think it’s just the natural shedding of older leaves.

Mine does that when I under water it I guess it’s another case of over and under watering having the same symptoms
