Hi everyone! ADVICE NEEDED

This Pothos was my first plant and I’ve had it for a year and a few months, it has grown A LOT. About two months ago some of the oldest leaves started turning yellow suddenly. After some investigation I thought it needed a bigger pot. I added a pot a few inches bigger in height and it continued flourishing. Now it’s suddenly yellowing again I already took off a handful of leaves and it’s starting again. The roots are growing out of the bottom about a half inch here and there. Is it already time for repotting already?

Thank you!

If it’s only the oldest leaves that is normal growth it means the plant is focused on feeding the other leaves and roots instead. It could be shock from repotting I wouldn’t repot again if you just did not to long ago

Okay that’s relieving to hear, thank you!

Mine is doing the same. I think I’ve over watered it

With pothos, be sure to not overwater. Are you using fertilizer? Mine sometimes goes yellow faster when it needs nutrients. If you’d like to try and get some of these old nodes (where the leaf dropped) growing again- try keiki paste! Good luck 🩷
