Epipremnum Aureum Global Green problems — and how to fix them
Epipremnum Aureum Global Green (Epipremnum aureum 'Global Green') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Yellowing leaves
Most often overwatering or poor drainage; let the soil dry further between waterings and check the pot drains freely.
Faded variegation
The lime-green centres dull in low light. Move to a brighter spot with indirect light to restore contrast.
Brown leaf tips
Usually low humidity, inconsistent watering or salt buildup from tap water or fertiliser; flush the soil occasionally.
Leggy, sparse growth
Insufficient light causes long gaps between leaves; brighten the location and pinch back tips to encourage bushiness.
