# My pathos plant hasn’t really grown much after having it for a long…

My pathos plant hasn’t really grown much after having it for a long time, and right now it’s pretty droopy. I just watered it because the soil was pretty dry, it kind of perked up, but still a little sad. What should I do?

Smaller pot

Okay thank you, I’ll try a smaller pot

If you have a clean glass, I’ve had a pothos living and growing in water for over a year now. It was inherited and doing poorly so it was an experiment, but in only water it has been continuing to grow longer! It won’t grow more babies, but it could be a good idea short term to help it perk up before transferring back to soil to fill out

I put her in a smaller pot and moved her to my living room, and she’s purked up, doing a lot better. I don’t think she’d fit in a glass though
