# What am I doing wrong?? Recently purchased on Tuesday. I’m hoping…

_Gepostet von Brotanical Bry am 2025-03-09_

What am I doing wrong?? Recently purchased on Tuesday. I’m hoping it’s thirst I watered her today’s good amount (1 pic is Tuesday 2nd is prior to posting. I removed a few brown leaves. Soil looks questionable so as I tried moving the plant a stems popped out of the soil. Am I doomed ?

I recently got a golden pothos as well and she started wilting just like this. I took her out of the pot and realized she was VERY root bound! Depending on how many vines you have going on it might need to be repotted. I repotted mine from this same container to a 10" ceramic pot (with drainage ofc) and even took a few of her vines out and put them in water. Since then it's been doing great. Maybe she's needing more pot room/more light if it's placed darker. Not doomed!! Pothos are very resilient

She went from looking just like yours to this. I'm no expert but I thought she was fine in her pot, but I was wrong 😂

I swear I can put a plant near my window with indirect sunlight and it’ll wilt

### Brotanical Bry kommentierte am 2025-03-10

So as I was checking her out a few stems easily came out. Idk if that’s because of the soil or it was just thrown together prior to purchase. The soil on top looked a little suspicious but again I didn’t want open up a can of worms and the entire plant fall apart lol

If they over buried the nodes, it could have caused some rotting

#### Brotanical Bry antwortete am 2025-03-10

It was looking alive prior to coming home with me

#### Wolfen 🐺 antwortete am 2025-03-10

I just had something similar with a vanilla plant i bought. The seller repotted before sending it, and he covered up 2 leave sections. And they started to yellow and rot. So i unpotted it, removed the bad leaves, and repotted so none of the leaf nodes were covered.

What light is it getting?

#### Brotanical Bry antwortete am 2025-03-10

It gets decent light being in my living room but it’s also still cold out where I’m living (northeast US)

I bought a plant from a lady on LetGo once and I got it home and found it was just a pot with unrooted cuttings stuffed down in the dirt. Some people are unscrupulous.

#### Brotanical Bry antwortete am 2025-03-11

Were you able to save any?

#### Gigglzngreenz antwortete am 2025-03-11

I put them in water and a couple of them sprouted roots. It was a golden pothos.

#### Brotanical Bry antwortete am 2025-03-11

Maybe I try that. I’m gonna take the ones with roots and put them in a smaller pot

It perked up a little bit I think?🤔
