I have 3 pothos, and they all have droopy leaves. Two of them have dropped a lot of leaves and have very slow growth. I water them often. They get plenty of light because they are in front of a south facing window. I don’t think it’s any sort of pests or bugs. Do you think it’s some sort of disease? Or overwatering? Here are the 3 pothos, the one on the shelf has the droopiest leaves and has dropped a lot of them.

How often is often?  
Pothos like to dry out pretty much completely before watering.  
But honestly, from here the plants look thirsty.  
I’d check the soil. If it’s wet, it would suggest over watering, and you’d want to dog them out and check the roots for rot.  
If the soil is dry, it may be hydrophobic, and you’d need to fill a big bowl with water and set the pot in it and let it soak for 30 minutes to an hour. The water level should come all the way up the sides of the pot to the level of the surface of the soil.

I water them once every one to two weeks. Their soil is all dry, I will try soaking them. Thank you so much!!

Good luck!  
Essentially the water should soak up into the soil until you see the top of it has become damp.  
And then it usually takes my pothos a solid 24 hours to perk up again, sometimes longer.

They all look dry. Many leaves have dropped and are continuing to drop. Trim off the bare vines and propagate.

The clay pots look pristine. Clay pots usually have water and salt stains when they are fully soaked with water. Clay pots will pull water and fertilizer salts from the soil. Bottom watering as described above is the best way to ensure both the plant and clay pot get water.

Lighting is crucial. It needs at least 8 hours of sunlight or 12 hours of a grow light. Use a light meter or a light meter app to measure the amount of light the plants get during the day. Compare the numbers to your plant’s lighting needs (google). 🍀🪴
