'As with many indoor plants, from calathea to kentia palms, problems can emerge from incorrect watering and a golden pothos turning yellow is a sign that you have this issue,' says Zia Allaway, houseplant specialist and gardens writer. 'Droopy leaves that slowly become yellow, and then turn crisp, are usually a sign that your pothos is not receiving enough water,' says Zia. 'Whereas, leaves that suddenly turn pale yellow before turning brown are a sign of overwatering, so leave your plant to dry out. 'If the compost is waterlogged, you can fix an overwatered plant by repotting it in a container with drainage holes in the base, and do not water for a couple of weeks until it has recovered,' she adds.
