Rescued a Golden Pothos from Walmart, today. I thought it probably just needed some water, but after I couldn’t get my moisture meter to poke down into the soil, even after I watered it, I discovered it was very root bound. I just repotted it. (White pot) Hopefully it will revive!

I think it’ll bounce back 😊 roots look healthy!

Yep! Looks like it came off life support and made a full recovery while I sleep last night. This is how it looked when I got up this morning! It’s like magic! 😁

Omg thanks so much for the update! It’s soo satisfying to see plants perk back up!

My favorite thing is to buy 2 of these \& replant them together for a fuller plant. I haven’t came across any yet that have been root bound. Wow!
