I think my Pothos needs to be repotted, but what are these brown nubs?

just nodes/aerial roots- nothing to worry about, but great for propagating!

It looks like you are overwatering her. If you decide to repot, I’d check the roots for root rot(brown and mushy roots) make sure to cut those off! You could also let her dry out for a bit, and cut off all those yellow and brown leaves. They don’t come back from that state, so it’s better to get rid of them so the plant doesn’t waste water, nutrients, and energy on those leaves

Thanks you guys! I repotted her and she’s already looking so much better!
