Hello  
My pothos is looking this way. Kinda droopy leaves. I added more water. I have them a little further away from the light. Any ideas? Thanks

mine just started doing this too! is it starting to get cold where you live? mine is close to a window and in a cold room and didn't enjoy the recent temp drops in my area.

Mine looked like this after a few unreasonably cold days. My golden is outside on my lanai in zone 10a Central Florida. I also hadn't watered in over a month as I got busy and was neglecting them. I wound up watering before I left town for Thanksgiving, and the next day, they were perking back up. Since yours just got water, I'd wait and see id they perk up. The yellow leaves will not turn green again, so I'd remove them.

How often are you watering your pothos? From the look of things, she may be dealing with some overwatering. I’d gently take her out of the pot and check the roots — they’ll tell you a lot about what’s going on. If they look mushy or dark, trim those bits off and repot into a well-draining mix. I’d also move her a little closer to the light; if she has been sitting in too much moisture, that brighter spot will help the soil dry more evenly and give her the light she needs to bounce back 🌱

This.

Mine was doing this and the roots were completely rotted!
