# I recently repotted my pothos and I believe it’s going through…

_Posted by エンゼルベビー💖 on 2026-03-15_

I recently repotted my pothos and I believe it’s going through transplant shock. I’ve pruned all yellow or dying leaves and watered 5 days ago when I repotted it. Soil is dry now, should I water it again? Or while that make things worse?

I think you should water it, depending on how strong she is she may just be sad for a while but I would definitely recommend watering, if the soil is dry AND she just got repotted she’s probably struggling a little with her roots

resume care as normal. she'll recover, she's just being fussy right now

My pothos just did this as well right after a repot. I watered it when the soil was dry and a few days later it perked back up. Good luck to you

Pothos are soooo hardy! You could drop the whole thing from the balcony and it would keep growing from the pavement (not a serious recommendation; do not drop your pothos from the balcony)
