I repotted my pothos a couple of days ago and it’s so sad and droopy now. Not sure if it needs more water or just needs a few days to recover?

Just stress in the plant after a repot, just make sure the soil is moist but not wet and it will bounce back pretty quick!

I wouldn’t water again!

Agreed, don’t water again. Just make sure the soil isn’t bone dry 😀

Plants take about a month to bounce back from the stress of being repotted. Give it time! 💖

Thank you for the reminder! I’ve been so bummed about it the last few days.
