Why does your Epipremnum pinnatum have yellow leaves? Diagnose the cause and fix it with our step-by-step guide.
Epipremnum pinnatum is highly susceptible to fungal pathogens like Phytophthora if the growing medium remains saturated. Excess moisture prevents oxygen from reaching the roots, causing them to decay and leading to systemic yellowing of the leaves.
A lack of available nitrogen prevents the plant from producing sufficient chlorophyll. In Pothos varieties, this typically manifests as a loss of variegation and a uniform yellowing starting with older, bottom leaves.
While adaptable, low light levels inhibit photosynthesis, causing the plant to shed older foliage to conserve energy. This can result in chlorosis (yellowing) as the plant reallocates nutrients to new growth.
Epipremnum species are tropical and sensitive to sudden temperature drops. Exposure to cold drafts from windows or AC vents can cause cellular damage, leading to yellowing and leaf drop.
