Pothos is sad. It’s been in the same place for several years. It was a 2020 pandemic rescue. Is it just aging out?

Looks like the pot is probably too big and you want a good mix of soils so it doesn’t hold water and good drainage. Good luck

More light?

Try pruning? And can propagate your trimmings?

It looks overwatered. Remove the pot and check for root rot. Cut all the rot, if found. Then, replace the soil and rinse the roots with hydrogen peroxide to disinfect. Trim the vines and propagate some in the original pot and some in water.

It could also need more light and better air circulation. 🪴🍀
