# Please help!! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong :( I brought her home…

Please help!! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong :(

I brought her home 3 days ago (Sunday) \& misted her once on Monday, and fully watered her for the first time today. I live in Denver so the humidity is pretty low, but was that too much water?

My apartment is full of fake plants for a reason, so we’re desperate for help over here 🙏

Pothos are dramatic, make sure your pot has a drainage hole. If not either drill one or repot it in a pot with one. But it’ll be fine

### Andressa commented on 2023-06-22

Make sure you remove the water that came out from the pot and is sitting in the vase

I would even consider putting it in a bigger pot with drainage. They really are dramatic, mine lets me know exactly when she needs water by dropping her leaves and after watering, she stands up all her leaves with confidence 😂

It does have drainage holes! I kept it in the plastic pot that I bought it in, and just put the whole thing in that pink planter

Amazing!! I started bottom watering instead \& she loved it

You can just repotted it in water only
