The reason your pothos doesn't turn yellow: avoid these three big no-nos

Pothos: when grown in water, pothos can develop yellow leaves. Pothos loves water, but if you water it too much, the young leaves turn dull and yellow and lose their shine, and the stems become thin and yellow too. This is caused by overwatering. Watering pothos once a week is enough; there is no need to water too often.

A newly purchased pothos needs to adapt to its new environment, so yellowing leaves are normal, but you must not prune it, or it will affect the whole leaf and even cause all the leaves to turn yellow. Pothos is a shade-loving plant, but it cannot stay in a dark place for a long time, or its leaves will lose their shine and turn yellow.

Lack of water can also make pothos leaves turn yellow. Severe water shortage causes the leaf tips and leaf edges to dry out and the leaves to wither and yellow, while the newly grown young leaves look normal; withered and yellow leaves will drop off. When watering, soak it thoroughly in one go, and water only after the soil has dried out completely. When you water, you must see water running out of the small holes at the bottom, and there must be no standing water in the pot, otherwise the roots will easily rot.
