# Since repotting my golden pothos (due to mold growing on the soil…

_Posted by KelseyLTM on 2025-07-07_

Since repotting my golden pothos (due to mold growing on the soil twice even after neem oil) she has since gone droopy. The first two photos are of her sad self now, the last photo of what she was. What could be the cause of this? Lighting is not the issue as I have 3 other pothos on the same table as her and they are just fine.

This happened to mine as well (first pic was 2 month ago vs now). My leaves became droopy and when I repotted I noticed there were too many roots all tangled together. I suggest taking a few leaves with roots and putting them into a separate pot so they have more room to grow!😊

I already completely repotted and took apart each rooted stem as it was tangled before the repot. 🥲 It was in this pot prior too. I did toss some stems out that didn't have roots attached so it's been thinned out as well.

How long ago did you repot? Pothos are resilient plants, so it might just be in shock and needs to adjust to its new pot. It will probably be fine in a few days.

Yeah I'm sure its the shock of repotting. They do that sometimes. Just give it a few weeks and she should bounce back soon.
