I’m new to plants, and I’m not sure what is going on with my golden pothos. It is so droopy and I’ve dead headed a few yellow leaves

Looks under watered. Water until the water drains through. Don’t water again until 1 or 2 inches of the top soil dries out. Check the roots to ensure there is no standing water in the catchment dish. Pothos like higher humidity and indirect light. Full sun can make them look limp.

Oh thank you!! I gave it a good water and checked the dish, and I’ll definitely move it out of the window. It perked up today!
