Not enough light? Pests? Too much water?

most likely overwatering this happened to my pothos ophelia unfortunately she got root rot and died :( i would simply water a bit less goodluck!

thank you, i only bought it yesterday, will it die on me??!

hopefully not! maybe the place you got it from overwatered it or it could be due to stress in a new environment also could be adjusting to different watering schedules

i say it’s okay for now but if it starts to become more discolored get rid of it
