I have had this pothos a couple of years and have only just started to look after it seriously šš³ (I know, sorry!). I feel like it needs re-potting as this is the original pot it came in, but I have NO IDEA where to start! Any basic tips and advice for a newbie is much appreciated šāš»
well she looks great! and a pothos is a great first repotting plant ā theyāre not super fussy and arenāt sensitive about their roots. Try to knock out as much of the old soil as you reasonably can ā a few firm pats works for me Go one size bigger ā a pot that the current pot fits inside of with about an inch or two of space between it and the edges of the new pot. I keep mine in a good potting soil with extra drainage (you can use perlite and/or bark) And thatās it! If you pull it out and arenāt sure what to make of things post pics! Iāll help šš

I would love to hear from Jpatz how this repotting technique works, as it hasnāt for me. For me, not touching the pot-shaped soil around the roots, and just setting the whole thing in a larger pot with new soil works perfectly.
1 Like for a pothos that can work too! i take the extra step because these roots arenāt sensitive like other plants and Iād like to make sure itās mostly my own fresh soil mix
