need help with dying golden pothos

Andrea Andrews
8 years ago

I have a 20 year old golden pothos that I started when I got married from a leaf cutting my mother gave me. I love this plan and I have grown many "babies" off her over the years. For the past 10 years or so I've had her hanging in my west facing kitchen window ( there is a heating vent below). I re-pot and fertilize as needed and I've never had a problem before but this winter her leaves started turning yellow, first just a few but now she is looking down right sickly. I've looked but there are no pests. My mother believes the plant was shocked by a bad draft one night when I didn't shut the window. I don't want to lose this plant but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. As I've said, I've grown this plant for 20 years and it's always been the picture of health. Should I just totally start over? Cut her down, re-root and re-pot? Any advice would be great, I don't think she has a lot of time left!!
