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