Golden Pothos turning yellow and drooping


Question

Pothos
Hello,
About 5 months ago I transplanted a golden pothos from a plastic container to a ceramic one.  The plant has been very happy living in my medium light cubicle at work until recently.
I moved to another building about 3 weeks ago to an area with a good amount of artificial light.  My watering habits have not changed; usually once a week.  It seems to like moist soil (at least it has since I transplanted it) But in the last 2 weeks, three leaves have turned completely yellow all the way to the stem.  Also, other leaves appear to be curling up and drooping a bit.

Am I overwatering it or could this be an environment change?  I am confused about the drooping and the yellow; I thought drooping was caused by not enough water and yellow was from too much.

Can you please help?  I hate to think that I am harming this plant!

Answer
Angela,

Your new office may not have as good of quality of light so it may be getting too much water for the quality of light it is receiving. Cut back on the amount of water you give it and keep it dryer. Yellow leavees do indicate that it is too wet. Good luck.
