Petals n pothos

I have a soft spot for rehab plants. Got him at Home Depot for $3. I don't usually repot as soon as I get them home but I wanted to see what was happening here. The roots are healthy but the growers had him in a weird, loamy soil that was super dense and wet, so I repotted in my own chunky mix that I use for my other aroids. I've never owned an adansonii before... Any specific tips I should know beyond normal monstera care?

    Chunky mix is definitely the way to go. Mine got root rot twice because my soil was too dense. The surviving parts are now in water. When I go back to soil, it will be a chunky mix!

      Yeah I think that's what was happening here. I think he was starting to suffocate. Either that or they completely underwatered and then drenched him right before I got there. I guess time will tell if he'll survive whatever happened.
