Bought last week, replanted in sol soil houseplant mix, watered and fertilized once and half already died, the other half is barely hanging on.

That looks rly overwatered. I would cut those leaves off, what did the roots look like when u replanted it?

Some head root rot, so I remove them and I’m down to one little guy left… does neon pothos require less water? I bottom watered once after getting it since the soil was completely(Got the plant 9 days ago). All the other pothos and philodendron Brazil from the same shopping spree are doing great….

I don’t have much experience with neon pothos, if the roots are v sparse u could always transfer to water for a limited time to allow the roots to regrow before reporting, how has it changed since last month?
