# Repotted my pothos plant a few days after bringing it home because it…

_Posted by Oatishkay on 2024-02-26_

Repotted my pothos plant a few days after bringing it home because it was really root bound and had fungus gnats. Now I have two and I already see a new leaf uncurling! Should I cut off any leaves that look damaged?

The plant goes through stress going into a new environment. Repotting adds more stress. It’s better to let the plant adjust before clipping leaves. The leaves provide energy to the plant. See what the damaged leaves look like in a couple of weeks. You can cut them off then.

Alright, thank you!
