Advice? My Pothos keeps turning out single yellow (already established) leaves one at a time (center of photo). What may be wrong with it? Currently I let it dry out the top couple inches before watering, it’s under a grow light and I mist every 2-3 days, and occasionally fertilize. It started doing this only in the last two months or so. It hasn’t been repotted in a while.

Prune then repot then water and fertilize

Prune which leaves? I’ve never done this.

#### BotanicalBrooke님이 2025-04-09에 답변했습니다.

Any leaves that look damaged or sick and any leaves touching or really close to the soil

That pot may be holding too much moisture after you water it. Try repotting it in a clay terracotta pot..use perlite in the soil to help with better drainage

Oh I do see the grow light now so it has to be that pot

Check the roots first looking for rot (overwatering), dried out roots (under watering) or pests.

I let my pothos soil dry all the way out to prevent overwatering. The leaves will fold and go limp when they need water. Clear out rot, if it’s root rot. Water more often if it’s an under watered condition.

Look for a root bound condition from overgrown roots and repot if it’s root bound. Note, a repot can cause more leaves to yellow and drop from disturbing the photosynthesis process and damaged roots. I would delay repotting if not necessary.

I have considered root bound because how quick the water runs through it. I also check the drainage hole to make sure it’s dry at the bottom before watering.

It could also be older leaves dying off if it’s near the base of the vines.

They have been the leaves closest to the base so that’s a thought 🤔 I’ve been 8 years trying to get this plant to thrive lol. This current version is from a prop I started off the main plant a couple years ago. The original plant was gifted to me and had some type of pest from the get go. But until these last two leaves started yellowing it’s actually and finally been doing great! I started misting and fertilizing it at the same point in time and shortly after introduced the grow light.
