Hey guys, I repotted my golden pothos about a week and a half ago, and ever since, she’s been super droopy :( I watered when repotted, and I just watered her today, but I’m not too sure what’s going on! I’ve had this pothos for over a year and I don’t remember experiencing this before

It’s may be a combination of things here. It may be in shock from the repot, what’s your weather like is it warm where you are or is it still chilly? Are you letting the soil completely dry out in between watering??

#### Ashley W replied on 2024-03-10

It’s honestly back and forth with the weather, but I’ve been trying to keep my apartment a steady 70-75°F. I mist daily/every other day for humidity, and I let the top ~3in of soil dry before watering

Pothos are very resilient, so give it a couple more weeks to adjust to the new pot. I mist all of my pothos every 3 days and let the soil dry out before watering again. Use a chop stick, or something like that, stick it in the soil if it comes out with soil on it, it’s fine. If no soil is on the probe then it needs watered! They love bright indirect light!

It might be shock like someone else said. It may be the pot is too big for the plants and the soil it’s holding too much water

#### Ashley W replied on 2024-03-10

Do you know about how long it takes for them to recover from shock? Or how to best help when in shock? I am just so scared of losing this baby

I haven’t experienced this with my pothos so far so I couldn’t really say. I think you should look at the roots for rot. I recommend adding more drainage, I have a LOT of perlite in my pothos’ soil

I will get some perlite next time I run to Home Depot!!
