What to Do When Pothos Leaves Turn Yellow? These Methods Make Pothos Grow Like Crazy Without Yellow Leaves

Nowadays many people keep a pot of pothos at home. On one hand, pothos can absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde from the air; on the other hand, keeping a pot of pothos at home adds color to the home and is pleasing to the eye. And in leisure time, watering the pothos and loosening the soil to calm ourselves down in a busy life 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 yellow pothos leaves?

1. Light that is too strong

Everyone knows that pothos likes scattered 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 strong sunlight will make the pothos start to look droopy, and after some time the leaves may turn yellow.

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

2. Improper watering causes pothos leaves to turn yellow

There are many reasons why 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 often water it too much, which can also make the leaves dark yellow and droopy; and watering too little can also easily cause pothos leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: Because pothos likes a warm and humid environment, when watering pothos, generally water as soon as the soil is dry. In autumn and winter, pothos grows relatively slowly, so the amount of watering can be reduced. In our usual leisure time, we can also spray some water on the pothos leaves, or wipe the pothos leaves, so as to 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 relatively low, or even if the air is relatively 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 is much better than wiping the leaves with clean water.
