Never had trouble with this lovely hanging pothos in the 5 years I’ve had it 🙁
The leaves at the base and very ends of its longest vines seem to be perfectly healthy, but the middle section is dying quite rapidly. Is there any way to help her or do I have to say goodbye to these 12 ft vines

Too much water?
Just how cold do you keep your home?
The plant would probably enjoy a trim and youve got a lot of cuttings material there.
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got for pothos is remove leaves as soon as they start to turn yellow. They will never turn back to green and you can focus the plant’s energy back into the healthy leaves. The bare spots won’t produce new leaves unless you expose the nodes to moisture. I’d suggest chop and prop for the long vines, unfortunately. I had this happen in 2020 and I was so sad, but now I have a plethora of happy pothos from those few vines.
Edit to add: do you fertilize? I don’t think this is from the cold unless the air around the pothos is close to freezing.
More than likely not enough water in the air. Do you have a humidifier in the room?
I think you need to chop and prop. That vine will be bald forever.
It needs to be in the window more
cut them off, they’re dying. deadish leaves pull energy from the plant that
is better used growing new shoots. pothos grow like mad don’t be afraid to give it a haircut.
the leaving the leaves yellow till they fall out by themselves refers to bulb plants. someone the energy from the dying
leaves retreats back into the bulbs
