Make sure the pot has good drainage (especially if it’s ceramic) and isn’t significantly bigger than the root ball so you don’t have soggy soil for too long… you’re more likely to have root rot and fungus gnats love it. You can also use a chunky mix for drainage (you can just add bark, pearlite, or porous rocks to your potting soil). I’d also be sure none of the leaves will have prolonged contact with the wet soil. Pothos are definitely more forgiving but I’ve harmed many plants when I first started. 🙃 Fun fact, put a pothos cutting with other plant cuttings to stimulate root growth!
