Hello, my pothos has a yellow leaf, unsure why this is happening. I try really hard not to overwater it, I wait until the soil is very dry and make sure the water is drained. I still have it in the nursery pot. Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated!

Some leaves will just die off at some point. The rest of the plant seems pretty healthy so I wouldn’t worry about it too much unless you see other leaves start to yellow

This same thing happened to mine recently! I think for mine I was just overwatering her. I agree with Harris. As long as you continue to be careful about watering, it should be okay. For mine I just removed the yellow leaf (it came right off with no effort) \& she seems great 😊
