Pothos with yellowing leaves (infosec.pub)

Every day, another leaf of our office pothos starts turning yellow until it falls about two days later. A couple of them got those brown-dry spots too.

I have two pothos at home that are thriving so I’m not sure what to do with poor thing. The plant has plenty of indirect light, sits on a bed of clay beads, and keeps on growing new leaves… I’m at a loss.

Thanks in advance for the help!

In addition to it being cold and dry like the other commenter said, it might be time to re-pot it or give it some fertilizer.

I’ll give it a go. I do believe we have some fertiliser from previous attempts to keep office plants alive – though at that time, the issue was watering them… Thank you!

Did it suddenly get a lot colder and drier in the room? My windowsill Pothos is struggling in the same way, while the Terrarium Pothos that has consistent temp & humidity is doing great.

We turned on the heating a few weeks ago, but I’m not sure if it started around that time. May be! We do have a big one who’s been showing these symptoms as well.

What would the solution be then? Do they eventually aclimate or it’s best to relocate? Thank you!
