Pothos Yellow Leaves: Light, Water, and Pruning

Progressive yellowing of older leaves on a rescued pothos indicates stress. Primary culprit: sheer black curtain drastically reduces light. Move to uncovered window or open sheers.

Additional Fixes

• Water when soil surface feels dry—not on a fixed weekly schedule.
• Replace fertilizer sticks with half-strength liquid fertilizer monthly (sticks burn roots).
• Prune vines regularly (2–4 inches) to prevent lower leaf loss and encourage fullness.

Root cuttings in water or damp mix. Proper light and watering will restore health.
