Hello I’m newbie here I was gifted a beautiful golden pothos for Mother’s Day I did repotted the next two days I believe… now I’m doubting myself cause this ceramic pot is 6 inches thinking too small and I used all purpose soil that was before I got perlite , black gold orchid potting mix which contains sonphum moss * can’t spell the word, perlite , pumice and some bark and black gold all purpose soil Should I repot in my handmade soil mix and get 8 inches pot Would love your feedback and much thanks

    Yes yes yes on repotting to the better handmade soil mix, I’m not too sure the pot size would make a huge huge difference, most plants love to be snug in their homes

      Thank you so much I’ll repot this weekend Most of pothos I seen they tend to be in wide nursery pot? Maybe I’m wrong I’ll repot find the root ball and clean up maybe this 6 inches should be ok

      No problem! Hmmm yeah but they have a pretty extensive vertical root system as well, if the root ball is large and you want to go up another pot size just be careful to have a really well draining mix and not to overwater

      Ugh yeah that all purpose stuff is a killer lol, learned the hard way, perfect!! I’d give her a couple days to adjust and then water, gotta kindve help dry out the roots and then encourage them to look for water in the new soil before dousing
