Hello! Im new to the group! 😊 Also new to planting!  
I have a sick golden pothos plant that needs to be repotted. I have it in a pot with no drainage so i will be purchasing a new pot with draining holes and I’d love soil recommendations and really any recommendations for this kind of plant 🪴 thank you!

I use Fox farms with added perlite and my plants are doing well with it!

I used cactus potting soil mixed with a good amount of perlite and mine seems happy enough. I’ve also thought about adding charcoal or orchid bark to make it chunkier just in case it can’t drain enough. I’ve had it a little over s month and I haven’t had any problems:)

All of my pothos have done great in typical potting soil + perlite

Thank you everyone! Did a little research and found that a lot of ppl use potting mix with perlite and orchid grow mix so that’s what I mixed up today 😊

Sol Soils has. a great chunky houseplant mix that I use for most of my varieties and they all love it. I also don’t have to add anything to their mix which is a bonus
