It looks like that side wasn’t getting enough light. I keep my plants in windows and I try to flip them around at least once a week to make sure all of the leaves to some direct light.

Should I cut off the yellow flowers?

You could probably pull those off easily without any force. Try not to pull too hard or you could damage the plant. They might fall off or stay attached and wither so I like to pull them off.

Yes, even though “low light tolerant” they like light, just not direct sun. I would move closer to window.

I don’t know if there’s a right or wrong, in the past I waited until the yellow leaf came off easily with a touch. Other time I’ve trimmed a leaf off. But I don’t know if there’s a rule. I find those leaves do not recover and come off on their own even without help.

Pothos really do best if you can give them light from the top so they can get light from every angle!💚
