# New pot for this girl! It’s was custom ordered and they made it much…

New pot for this girl! It’s was custom ordered and they made it much MUCH shallower than I wanted. Do you think she’ll be ok in a shallow pot? The diameter is 2 inches bigger than her previous pot :)

Maybe needs to be potted in a much deeper pot, due to the fact they produce more roots than leaves, so they have very deep root systems.

I have a very successful legacy pothos in a shallow pot. This will be fine! It’s cute. Pothos don’t mind being root bound. “More roots than leaves” I…don’t know about that. These vine so, there is the capacity for tons of leaves!! They also send out aerial roots which absorb moisture and nutrients from the air (or trees they’ve attached to — or your walls lol)

She’ll be okay for a little while, but you’ll probably want to repot her as soon as the growing season sets in again. Then use the shallow pot for succulents!
