went through a rough patch mentally and neglected all my plants. luckily only one died, but I have a few in need of help!

Golden pothos (have had for seven years):  
very little and leggy growth, dropping/yellowing leaves that are curling up.

Fairy washboard:  
purple brown discoloration, new growth.

Any help super appreciated!!

When was the last time you have watered or repotted your plants?

#### junoinhisplants antwoordde op 2024-03-03

watered today. have been fertilized. the washboard maybe 10 months ago, the other not in years

They both look like they can be saved IMO. The pothos definitely looks like it needs water. I would also possibly repot into a smaller nursery pot until it rebounds. That said, watering first and seeing how it does, then repot……not necessarily at the same time. Hopefully that makes sense

I agree with Amie. I think they’re savable!

Glad you’re feeling better💞🏳️‍⚧️

sorry about the rough patch mentally!

you can either put the pothos in a smaller pot and give it a good water and it should bounce back. or you can chop it and propagate it and when it has at least two inches of roots, you can pot it back.

the succulent might need some new soil as it looks quite dry but hard to tell in the photo. I would definitely take a look at the roots and see how they look and take it from there.
