Why does your Epipremnum aureum Giant have yellow leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Excessive moisture in the substrate prevents oxygen from reaching the roots, leading to fungal decay. This is the most common cause of chlorosis (yellowing) in Giant Pothos as the compromised root system fails to transport water and nutrients.
As a fast-growing cultivar, Giant Pothos requires consistent nitrogen for chlorophyll production. A lack of available nitrogen causes older, lower leaves to turn yellow first as the plant redistributes nutrients to new growth.
While adaptable, a lack of bright indirect light prevents efficient photosynthesis, causing the plant to shed older leaves. Conversely, extreme direct sun can scorch leaves, turning them yellow or pale.
Giant Pothos is a tropical species that dislikes sudden temperature drops. Exposure to cold drafts from windows or air conditioning units can cause physiological stress, resulting in leaf yellowing.
