I’m wondering if anyone can help me with what’s going on with my pearls and jade Pothos? It’s still growing long and healthy vines/leaves but closer to the base, the leaves are turning yellow and brown and dying. I don’t see any obvious pests and I let the soil dry before watering. The last photo shows how many leaves I have lost on one vine. Any suggestions/thoughts would be great!

I’d suggest a chop and prop. With all those nodes, it should push out lot of new growth that you can add back to the pot to fill it out. The leaves die off toward the bottom first, so that’s normal. How much sun does it get in that window? The first pic looks like possible sunburn but I’m not certain
