The editor reminds everyone that when growing pothos, be sure not to place pothos in a dark place. Although pothos is not afraid of shade, a dark environment will cause the phenomenon of yellow pothos leaves. Also, it must not be exposed to strong sun; overly intense sunlight will not only cause the leaves to turn yellow, but also cause the entire pothos plant to die.
