Guys please help! My Pothos N Joy was looking great. Then I watered it after checking that the soil was dry. And within a few hours the leaves started yellowing and it’s starting to droop heavily.

Have you added chemicals other than water? It might be sensitive, if so. If not, it’s likely overwatering. The soil could be too dense with slow drainage.

Check the roots for rot. Replace with dry well draining soil that has lots of perlite or other aggregates. Hold off watering a couple of hours. Then, water enough to just moisten the soil. Wait fit the soil to completely dry to the bottom of the pot before watering again.
