# I just got this plant, I don’t know what type it is. But I don’t know…

_Geplaatst door Ashley op 2024-07-24_

I just got this plant, I don’t know what type it is. But I don’t know if it needs repotting since it’s looks congested with its vines inside of the pot. Also if I do repot it does it need to always be a drainage pot?

i would repot in a 1” to 2” bigger pot (diameter) and it deffo needs drainage. i like to put chunky soil/rocks at the bottom to ensure proper drainage. what a gorgeous girl \& i would fertilize asap to avoid anymore drying leaves

Thank you so much! What’s a good soil you recommend so I can repot her?

potting soil w extra drainage \& if those roots are locked try to loosen them up and get any dead roots out

It’s a golden pothos. They thrive in bright indirect light.

Check the roots after removing the pot. More roots than soil is an indication it needs repotting. Repot if need. Cut the dead leaves and add 50% diluted fertilizer twice a month in summer.

The vines are not congested. New growth don’t spring up from the soil. The grower placed several plants in a hanging basket to give it a fuller look.l and help them sell faster.

Inconsistent watering can cause the leaves to dry out.
