I also have a satin pothos. Based on my experience, the leaves tend to curl due to stress from watering issues. It can either be over- or under-watering. The best thing to do is to check the soil conditions before you water… make sure that only the top inch or two of soil is dry before you water. You’ll know if you’ve gone too long between waterings if the is pulling away from the edge of the pot.

Humidity and lighting could be another culprit. Satin pothos likes higher humidity and bright but indirect light. Make sure to mist regularly and that it’s not in too bright of a spot.

Thank you. I will try all of this \& hopefully it gets better :)

The pot you have it in looks like an orchid pot. You may want less side drainage. Or try putting it in a decorative pot to conserve water.

The soil appears to be dry. The plant might be thirsty.

Mine did this when it was getting too much light and not enough water
