Help please! I repotted my Marble Queen Pothos plant today, and when I pulled her out of her old pot her roots broke off due to root rot, and are now very shallow. The leaves are still very full and looking great. But I had to downsize the pot to try to help get the roots healthy again. Any suggestions on how to help with recovery?

    chop down the stems. too many leaves will stress the plant out, as it doesn't have enough roots to support that many leaves. chop them back to 2-3 leaves per stem.

    You might have to prune off one or two leaves. Target the ones where new vines are popping out. You want to stop leaf growth completely so it focuses on roots.

    i learned this the hard way with my old marble queen, like others are saying chop down some of the leaves! it’s sad, but then you can propagate and have more of your plant!

    I wouldn’t touch it. Let it grow. Do not water too much. Don’t fertilize until you see new leaves :) Should be good to go. And of course.. LIGHT!
