The yellowing of its leaves may be caused by improper maintenance. If you always forget to fertilize or the amount of fertilizer is too little, it will cause the appearance of yellow leaves. Fertilizer should be added appropriately. If the soil is dry due to no watering for a long time, it will also cause the leaves to wither and turn yellow, so it should be watered enough. If the roots of the plant are rotten and infected, the leaves will turn from green to yellow. The rotten roots should be pruned, disinfected and replanted.

1. No nutrition

1. No nutrients

Reason: To maintain pothos, proper fertilization is actually required. However, if you always forget to fertilize or fertilize too little, the plant will grow very thin and the leaves will also become dull. Turn yellow.

Solution: If you want its leaves to recover, you need to apply some fertilizer appropriately. It usually takes about 15 days to replenish nutrients. The concentration of fertilizer should not be too high, just use a low concentration of mature fertilizer.

2. Long-term water shortage

Reason: If it is not watered for a long time during the breeding period, if the soil is too dry and it grows in a state of water shortage, the leaves will become withered and yellow, and almost all of them will be old leaves.

Solution: Water it in time and enough water, but there should not be too much water in the pot soil. When watering, water it thoroughly and try to keep the soil slightly moist.

3. Root rot

Causes : If there is water in the soil for a long time, its roots will be easily infected with root rot, or the soil will become very hard and airtight, which will also cause root rot, which will lead to yellow leaves.

Solution: Remove the roots from the soil and cut off any rotten roots. After pruning the roots, it is best to disinfect them with carbendazim or potassium permanganate, and then replace them with new soil for cultivation.
