hi all! recently got this app to try and help take better care of my golden pothos. this plant is super important to me, named him Baby Plant, as my aunt gave him to my mom when i was born. my mom cared for him most of my life and he thrived but the last few years he hasn’t been doing so great under my care. i have recently moved and repotted him and placed him on top a shelf in the living room and he seems to be doing a little better now. any advice on how to get him bouncing back and thriving again? thank you so much!

It looks like he could go down a pot size or two and it doesn’t look  
Like that pot has drainage holes, so making sure he’s not sitting in super wet soil at the bottom.

I agree on downsizing the pot and adding drainage. The roots and soil look dry, so you may need to water more often, or more thoroughly when you do water.

It needs more light! Get it in a window. Once it grows longer, I’d chop and prop to fill up the pot
