The temperature is noticeably colder and the humidity is down to a whopping 13% (my humidifier broke and taking into the shower hasn’t helped) ![4개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EZaV7WZfGaVagQcNHmwqzgawtCDb2duRPbnu4V0y3fY/Q5DyfnguSKmuUP-EJ2Z5zQ.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EZaV7WZfGaVagQcNHmwqzgawtCDb2duRPbnu4V0y3fY/iIDY3HUQQKK9Z7nTCGLydg.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EZaV7WZfGaVagQcNHmwqzgawtCDb2duRPbnu4V0y3fY/FPLqbnXtSwG_bdnfiuJDDw.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EZaV7WZfGaVagQcNHmwqzgawtCDb2duRPbnu4V0y3fY/J7q26KYJTn2gvG8UCpvIiA.webp?size=large) ## 9개의 댓글 ### GreenLeaf님이 2025-01-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. It looks really hydrophobic. I would bottom water it until the soil has resaturated and give it a few days. I’d also repot in spring, its looking pretty root bound. The reason I’d wait is because in its current state, repotting might be too much of a shock. #### Bethany님이 2025-01-29에 답변했습니다. Thank you! ### Lily님이 2025-01-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. When was the last time you watered your pothos? The soil almost looks hydrophobic so I would recommend bottom watering/ fertilizing to get to the roots right away. After that, I would wait a few months and repot/ change out the soil as it’s looking a little root bound. I hope your pothos perks up! #### Bethany님이 2025-01-29에 답변했습니다. I water it frequently, but I think I’ve only tried top watering. Yes it does look hydrophobic ### Tiff님이 2025-01-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. Also for a humidifier bandaid, try using a small aroma diffuser. They put out a nice mist, are smaller, and a teeny bit less expensive in the short term. I've used a bunch of them until I decided if I was really going to purchase humidifier(s), but even then I was able to purchase a couple for pretty cheap on Amazon. Good luck. #### Bethany님이 2025-01-29에 답변했습니다. Thank you so much ### KJM님이 2025-01-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. Yep, definitely needs a new pot. You can either purchase a pot a couple inches bigger than the existing pot or you can trim the roots down and put it back in the same pot. I rescued a pothos that the leaves were entirely crunchy. I got all of the stems back to about 2 in. I gave it a thorough watering both from the top and from the bottom. Watering from the top will flush out excess salts from the soil. Transplanting is best done at the beginning of the growing season but in this case I think I would cut it back, hydrate it give it, a few days and then do the transplant. Don't be afraid to rough up the roots a little bit and trim them back. As long as you don't cut too many off it will stimulate root growth. I would say do not cut more than 25% of the roots off. ### KJM님이 2025-01-22에 댓글을 남겼어요. Also, if you can move it away from any cold drafts. I don't know where you live but if it was getting a cold draft at my house it's about 2° outside! So no cold drafts and maybe a pebble tray. #### Bethany님이 2025-01-29에 답변했습니다. Yes I definitely get a draft from my window --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
