00:0010 Reasons Why Your Pothos Leaves Are Turning Yellow
00:03Water Quality Issues
00:06Chlorine, fluoride, and mineral-laden tap water stress pothos, causing yellowing edges.
00:12Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater instead.
00:17Temperature Extremes
00:18Pothos thrives in temperatures ranging from 65 degrees Fahrenheit to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:25Exposure to cold drafts or hot, dry air from heaters can cause yellowing,
00:30so it's best to keep the plant away from vents and maintain stable temperatures.
00:35Salt and Fertilizer Build-Up
00:36Excess fertilizer salts accumulate around roots, burning tips and margins yellow.
00:43So, flush monthly with filtered water and reduce feeding.
00:47Low-light Conditions
00:49Insufficient light reduces chlorophyll, making leaves pale yellow.
00:52So, move to bright, indirect light near east or north windows to recover.
00:58Overwatering and Poor Drainage
01:00Soggy soil suffocates roots and triggers rot, causing yellow leaf drop.
01:05So, ensure drainage holes, an airy mix, and water when dry.
01:10Harsh Direct Sunlight
01:11Direct Midday Sun scorches pothos, bleaching leaves yellow or white.
01:17So, move back from windows or add a sheer curtain.
01:19Natural Aging and Senescence
01:22Older leaves naturally yellow and drop as new growth forms.
01:27So, prune spent foliage and healthy tips that continue pushing fresh, vibrant leaves.
01:33Nutrient Deficiencies
01:34Nutrient Depletion, especially nitrogen, reduces chlorophyll and yellow leaves.
01:40So, feed your houseplant balanced 20-20-20 fertilizer at half strength every six to eight weeks.
01:48Repotting Shock
01:49Transplanting disturbs fine roots, causing temporary yellowing.
01:54So, keep the soil slightly moist.
01:57Provide indirect light and expect new growth shortly.
