My golden pothos baby was root locked so I decided to repot her. It's been about a week at this point and she's still looking sad :( Any tips?

Cut off any brown/dead root (might be some on the left plant), and then I’d mist the soil every other day or so but I wouldn’t risk overwatering right now.

The other route is trying to submerge the base entirely in water, no soil…and watch closely on how it responds. Half of my pothos are hydroponic, the other half are in soil. Have they been in the sun any? Good luck!

they're partial sun. Mostly late day
