My Neon Pothos has been putting out some white leaves. Ha...

I'm repotting my Neon Pothos today and noticed it has given me some fully white leaves. They die quite quickly, dry and fall, but why is it happening? I've had it for 4 years, this is the first time I see this. It started about 2 months ago. #pothos #neonpothos
after reading up on it, the internet says that it’s most likely due to too much or too little sunlight. it causes their leaves to turn incredibly pale and appear white. what kind of lighting is it receiving right now??
@jonathan1124 did you move it anytime within the last ~3 months since you started noticing it two months ago?
@jonathan1124 yes, I moved cities in early October. It had a growth spurt and then white leaves started popping up. In terms of light, it is a corner in between 2 windows. It receives morning and evening light. Before that I lived in an apartment and she had a grow light.
I love how plants are like: too much or too little light. Same symptom. Lol.
@thasr81 i know 😩 it’s so conflicting when trying to cater to their needs. i assume that she’s just being a bit dramatic since the move. i like to think of plants as β€œterritorial” and they don’t really like to change conditions. i would say she might be getting too little light since she doesn’t have a grow light and the days are very short and often cloudy. if you have the resources, a grow light may definitely bring her back to thriving condition.
@jonathan1124 thank you for all the help! I love my neon drama queen haha
Why are they so pretty though??
