What to do when pothos leaves turn yellow? Understand these few points and your pothos will grow like crazy without turning yellow

These days many people keep a pothos at home. On one hand, pothos can absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde from the air; on the other hand, keeping a pothos at home adds color to the home and is pleasing to the eye. And in spare moments, watering the pothos and loosening the soil lets us quiet down amid our busy lives, which is a very good thing. But many people say that when they grow pothos, the leaves turn yellow. So how should we care for it to avoid pothos leaves turning yellow?

1. Light that is too intense

Everyone knows that pothos likes indirect light and does not like direct sunlight. If, when we usually care for pothos, we put it on a balcony or in some place with direct sunlight, the intense sunlight will make the pothos start to look droopy, and after a while the leaves may turn yellow.

Solution: Put the pothos in a semi-shaded place, or put it on the balcony but give the pothos on the balcony proper shade, so that the pothos receives indirect light and is not exposed to direct sun.

2. Improper watering causes pothos leaves to turn yellow

There are many reasons pothos leaves turn yellow, and poor watering can also cause pothos leaves to turn yellow. Because pothos likes a hot and humid environment, many people, when watering pothos, often give too much water, which also makes the leaves dull yellow and droopy; and too little water also easily makes pothos leaves turn yellow.

Solution: Because pothos likes a warm and humid environment, when watering pothos, generally water as soon as the soil goes dry. In the two seasons of autumn and winter, pothos grows rather slowly, so the amount of watering can be reduced. In our usual spare time we can also spray some water on the pothos leaves, or wipe the pothos leaves, which helps keep the pothos moist.

3. Use a beer solution to wipe the pothos leaves

Pothos is a plant that likes humid air, so if the humidity in the environment where the pothos grows is rather low, or even if the air is rather dry, it will cause the pothos leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: You can mix leftover or expired beer with water and use a cotton cloth to wipe the pothos leaves. This can keep the pothos leaves moist, and the effect is much better than wiping the leaves with plain water.
