# Pls help 🥲 My nursery bought pothos started to wilt after a two…

_Posted by Eva on 2025-09-03_

Pls help 🥲 My nursery bought pothos started to wilt after a two watering sessions (I think I watered too often), checked the bottom of the pot and had roots circling so I split it into two pots and removed mushy roots. Wondering how long should I wait to re-water or use any liquid fertilizer? And will it recover??

It definitely looks overwatered, and if you just repotted it, it’s going to be in shock too. Give it time and wait to water till completely dried

If the soil is dry you can water now. I'd take all the yellow leaves out. Wait until it looks healthy before fertilizing though. Pothos can be forgiving so it should bounce back. But just remember to water only when the soil is dry.
