Please help, I repotted this baby a week ago. It has been down hill ever since. the leaves have curled and a few are yellowing. I am not sure what to do, any suggestions?

Soak in water if dry

Soil may be a wee too chunky for phothos... pop in some natural peat free compost!

Thank you! I will try this, hopefully its not to late.

The base looks squishy and rotted.. cut from the bottom node up until the stem has no discoloration or rot.. then you can take the bottom 2-3 leaves off from the stem and propagate in water so the aerial roots can grow.. you WILL lose leaves but it is important to act soon! Goodluck🫶🏼
