# My porthos is dying!!! HELP! My porthos was growing like crazy! But……

My porthos is dying!!! HELP!

My porthos was growing like crazy!  
But… it was only growing vines and not leaves  
So someone told me to repot and trim it

The roots were covering the bottom pot!

I repotted in a bigger pot and trimmed all the leafless vines.

Within the next week… all the leaves were turning yellow, curling and drying 😢  
I must of taken off over 20 leaves 🫣

Now they are not turning as fast.. but all I’m left with are vines. Will the leaves grow back?  
What am I doing wrong?!?

I’ve never tried on a satin pothos but with other vining plants you can chop the vines and put them in a prop box!

I have encountered this before (though you might have a different problem). Mine lost all of its leaves but I continued caring for it and eventually the leaves grew back and new shoots are now coming in.
