What to do when pothos leaves turn yellow? Master these tips for glossy green leaves and vigorous growth

Pothos is one of the easiest plants to keep at home; as long as it always has water, it won't die, but it won't necessarily grow all that well either. That's why so many people complain that theirs does poorly at home, with leaves often turning yellow and drying up. Below, I'll share some solutions with you.

The first is environment. Pothos needs a certain amount of time to adapt to its environment; if the environment changes too quickly, the leaves can easily turn yellow and dry up. So don't suddenly change the temperature, humidity or light. When caring for pothos, don't rush for quick results.

You should try to minimize the speed of changes in the growing environment. The second is watering. Water is closely tied to pothos; if you don't water for a long time, pothos will turn yellow from an insufficient water supply, and the edges and the underside of the leaves will also dry up.

But it doesn't affect newly grown leaves. Just water promptly and water thoroughly. Third, root rot: coarse soil with poor air permeability easily causes root rot. Once pothos roots rot, the root system becomes damaged along with it.

It cannot absorb enough nutrients and water, so the only option is to remove it from the pot, trim the rotten roots, let the wounds dry, repot it, and carry out normal routine care.
