Hello everyone! I need help
my plant start to develop those dark yellow spots, on the leave near the roots only. Also those spots are deep in the leave 🙁 and few leaves turned yellow and fell
I change 2 days ago the pot because the roots were squeezed
i water it 1/2 cup of water one time per week and never got issue before.
also the plant was always exposed to direct sun so i decide today i just put it in indirect sun ? is it because spring is here so i need to change the cares?
i know nothing about plants and this was a gift so please be nice 🙁 am not even sure about the name of the plant 🥲
i got it not long time ago last year and it grew super fast! and long !
ignore the dirty table, i need to go work and no time to remove the mess for moving the plant out of the direct sun.
thank tou very much!

Are you checking the soil for moisture before you decide to water?
yes it’s a pothos and yes they enjoy indirect light!
Spots on the leaves and yellowing leaves are signs of overwatering though. The best way is to not water on a schedule but rather check the soil by sticking your finger in about 2cm and feel if it’s dry. Only when it’s completely dry, then you water. I would suggest watering with more than 1/2 a cup of water but that pot is quite big so you’re at risk of not knowing that it is wet further down and the roots could rot. The terra cotta is a good choice though.
The big stretch with no leaves can be a chance to chop it. I would chop at the blue marks and plant the left straight into the soil. The middle part could also go into the soil. They will make new roots and become new plants and the plant will need to spend less effort keeping a very long string alive.
