Okay! Let’s run through a little checklist… 😄

Do you notice any pests on the leaves? Tiny spiderwebs, little bugs, then, get some pesticides like captain Jack’s dead bug brew!

however, if they’re starting to turn yellow randomly, I think it’s a nutrient problem. Maybe give it a bit of fertilizer.

Could be a soil problem. Maybe your plant has ran out of space or there’s no more nutrients in the soil. Maybe do a repot. See if it’s root bound. make sure you find the right mix for the golden Pothos. 🪴😄🤟🏻

Thank you!

How often do you water it?

#### Iris replied on 2024-06-01

I water it when the first top inch of soil is dry

How many leaves are turning yellow? If it’s just a couple of the older leaves, then I wouldn’t worry about. Leaves will go through their life cycle and eventually die off

Check the roots, you may be time to repot 👍

Pathos don’t need to be watered until they are completely dry. It’s possible that you’re overwatering and maybe that’s why the leaves have yellowed. Just a thought as nobody else has mentioned that it could be ian overwatering issue. Good luck! 😊💚🪴

I agree with Lynda, they need to dry out completely, and they are likely to get root rot if kept too moist.
