# Recently repotted my pothos plant. One of the stems has always been a…

_Posted by Joduarte on 2023-06-21_

Recently repotted my pothos plant. One of the stems has always been a little weaker than the rest of the stems, and I noticed that the leaves on this stem were looking extra droopy compared to the other stems. I just checked my plant and it turns out I did a bad job at reporting and didn’t anchor this stem into the soil well enough. Is there anyway to revive this stem?? Open to any and all advice!!! Thank u in advance 🫶🏼

put it in water or water and perlite and let it re root

Looks under watered and the root dried up. I personally don’t think they will survive. But you can try. I would put in moist soil and keep moist and in a nice lite area out side out of direct sun

Would it be helpful to cut it at a node or is it too far gone?

Mine never make it when there that sick. And I propagate about 30 stems every 2 weeks. No problems doing it in water but when I tried right into soils I was losing about 2 or 3 of them. But when there is that many it’s not noticeable. But when I use water and then soil I have not killed any of them

That’s 3 glasses and 10 little stations every 2 weeks. And getting more and more. I make these off of 4 decent sized plants and all my new ones.

ITS STILL SALVAGEABLE! i would trim off the shriveled roots (maybe that means down to the node to be safe) and keep them in water until they get roots abt 2in long before repotting!
