I am in need of some help with my Pothos. For the first few years of his life he grew up in my office with tons of sun in a huge southern facing window, and I had no issues. He thrived. I left that job a few years ago and had to bring him home, and it's been a slow but steady struggle bus since. Every couple of months, he develops yellow leaves like in the picture. Always in the middle of a vine, while still putting out new growth at the end of the vines. I tried repotting him in a bigger pot (still maybe not big enough?), moving windows from a west facing window to a southern facing window, and finally putting him above a sink (still southern facing) so I remember to water him more frequently (a glass or two once a week or so). The pot does drain but it does have drainage catch attached (sorry, I don't actually know what that is called). Does anyone have any idea of how I can stop the yellowing?

    Have you ever repotted it?

      I repotted it about a year ago. That was one of the first attempts I made at fixing the problem. It may still need a bigger pot though.

      I think you should probably pull him out of the pot and look at the roots

    I would only water when needed.

      Not reliably. Whenever I think about it (probably every couple of months) I put a couple.of squirts of this fertilizer before watering it. I will admit, I mostly don't know what I'm doing with my indoor plants.

      girl me either don’t worry, my pothos is major dying right now and I read that they are really hungry guys so need a lot of plant food. i’m not sure exactly how much but i’m sure you can google it!

    Do you rotate the plant? If the yellowing is only on the back perhaps that side just needs a little more light

      Hmmm... it is definitely only on the back side right now! I can't remember if that is always the issue. I'll try rotating to see if that helps! Thank you!!
