My pothos was looking really good but wasn’t growing so I put it in a window that got more sunlight. Now it’s not doing super well. I moved it away from the window.

Does anyone know what I should do?

I would just put it where it’s getting bright indirect sun good and water whenever the first 2 inches of top soil are dry till it looks better. Then maybe some fertilizer if you want it to grow a bit faster.

It looks underwatered. What’s the soul situation?

When was the last time you water it?

### Maddie commented on 2023-08-02

Thanks for your help everyone! I had watered it like 5 days before I took this picture, I’m thinking maybe I didn’t give it enough considering how much sun it was getting.

I will try watering it more and hopefully that helps!

I had a similar situation after I repotted a big beautiful plant. It had a major meltdown and kept looking worse and worse. Usually after a repot it will come around a day or so later but this time it was persistent. After a month of sadness, my savior was moving it from soil to water. And today it’s perky, beautiful, and has bigger leaves than it did before.

Soil to water seems to be a good rehab solution for sick plants!
