May 2025 -> March 2026. Definitely my happiest plant 🫶. I think she’s due for a repot

I am so grateful for this community as I build my skills. I brought this Pothos home from a co-workers office because it was long, leggy, limp, and dropping. The pot and soil were soaked so I released it from the pot (same terra cotta one you see here), inspected the roots which looked ok, removed several leaves, cleaned the pot, repotted it with my own airy potting mix, trimmed the stems and planted some of the nodes by wrapping some of the stems spirally around the top, and watered it well. 12 hours later, it is still limp and the towel underneath it is very damp despite letting it drain significantly when I watered it. Have I made the situation worse? I'm wondering if the pot is too big. I'm also wondering if I should just cut down to the roots and start again in a smaller pot. Any advice would be great!

Hello! New (to taking it seriously) the plant world. I was under the impression when I got this plant that it was of the pothos family, now that I’m getting into plants, I’ve been informed that pothos normally don’t fenestrate.. please can you ID this plant for me? It’s kept in my frog tank, so 12 hours of UVB and natural light a day, humid and often watered (when I remember). It’s gone crazy, won’t stop growing. It’s planted in peat moss purely because it’s frog friendly (I understand it’s not the best, but I’m limited to frog friendly options). When I first bought it I had no experience with plants, so it’s lucky it’s still alive.. Pic of frog for tax 🐸

I got two potho girls that are climbers. Out growing their pots. I was thinking aboit combining them into 1 pot. Thoughts? Since they are still too small for the pot size up from what they are in, but too big for current pot.

Hiii!! I’m having a hard time seeing what plant this is lol. Initially I thought it was a lemon lime but it has the white stripes and some darker green spots that are popping up. Thoughts??

I have a marble queen pothos (she’s healthy and doing very well!) but I want to see if I can increase the variegation patterns on the leaves. I use a grow light that sits right above the leaves, should I increase the intensity of the light? Or how long it’s on? Or both? I currently have it set for an 8 hour timer during the day. Any help is appreciated! šŸ’š

Question.. when repottng a pothos plant would it be a good idea or not to soak the root ball in water to loosen it up before repotting it or just leave it the way it is. Just curious. I replanted my bigger one and that roots ball is huge, so it got my curiosity up about that or not. I didnt do it but just curious.. thankyou..

I freaking love this guy!! I put a small stick and a bigger stick in him when I repotted him into a new pot from his nursery pot and he’s loving those sticks!! The pix don’t do justice but it looks like he’s weaving back and forth perfectly!! Oh and Ima new plant mommie so he’s gotten too much ā˜€ļø but I’ve got that figured out now!!

Recently got this Satin Pothos and it’s in sad condition. I’ve heard they are harder to raise than other pothos breeds but it just looks sick no matter what. Not pushing out new leaves really and leaves have these weird brown spots (came from the plant shop that way). Any advice would be great!

A few of the leafs on my pothos have been unfurling very weirdly and looks like it’s twisted up, idk how to explain it but I know it shouldn’t be doing this.

Hello! I’m new to plant keeping I just bought this golden pathos it is potted in an 8inch pot. The plant is looking a little bit neglected like it’s dying from the ones I’ve seen doing research. Let me know if I can do anything different or to help! I water when dry and have plant food I could put in with the water every two weeks as well
