Putting Pothos under Direct Sunlight, they will naturally experience brown spots. This is because Pothos receives too much sunlight and burns Pothos leaves so that they will look brown and crispy.
Pothos needed enough water to survive. They will have brown spots if you give too much water and also lack water for a long time. If it has a lot of water, Pothos will experience root rot. And if there is a lack of water, Pothos will lack moisture so the leaves will begin to turn brown and dry out.

Another reason why Pothos has brown spots is that Pothos is getting older. With age, Pothos leaves will begin to dry and brown spots will begin to appear. And will eventually fall. This is indeed a natural condition that many plants go through.
Root rot

It has been mentioned in the first point, the appearance of brown spots on Pothos, one of which is the root rot. This can be caused by overwatering and mold growth and is not treated immediately. Root rot usually starts at the root and spreads to all parts of the plant. It can be seen that root rot is a brown or black root that is mushy to the touch.
Pests or bacterial infections

To fix the Pothos of brown spot, you can begin to isolate the plant from other plants. This is because it can help to prevent the spread of problems caused by the Pothos plant to other plants.

Still, on the issue of root rot, you can start cutting off the affected roots and replanting Pothos in fresh soil. Sterilize the cutter in advance so that pests or bacteria do not spread to healthy plants. Once replanted, water the Pothos well and keep an eye out for further problems.
