Variegated "Philodendron" = Pothos: Overwatering + Crowding Fix

Yellow leaves on a "variegated philodendron" in a shared pot = it's a Pothos (Epipremnum), not Philodendron. Problems: too much water, no drainage, overcrowding.

Fix

  1. Separate: Pot alone in same-size pot (not larger) with drainage hole.
  2. Water: Let dry completely between waterings (10–14 days).
  3. Light: East window all day = perfect.
  4. Fertilizer: Monthly (¼ strength).

Why Not Larger Pot?

Pothos likes being rootbound. Excess soil stays wet → root rot. Same size = faster drying.

Fix these, yellowing stops, new growth clean.
