# My pothos plant started drooping a few days ago. I watered it 2 days…

_Publié par Kayla le 2025-06-16_

My pothos plant started drooping a few days ago. I watered it 2 days ago and the soil is now completely dry down to the bottom of the pot. Any ideas on the cause?

Is it getting enough sunlight?

#### Kayla ha respondido el 2025-06-16

I think so! It’s getting bright, indirect light. Although, it has been rainy/cloudy the past week

Same here. Although my pothos is pretty sturdy so even some gray days don’t seem to affect it too much. I think if it’s dry to the bottom maybe more water and maybe fertilizer?

In my experience… Clay pots dry out faster. It just looks like it needs more water. I’d put water in a sink or bowl, set the pot in it.. allow the clay pot to soak (approx. 15 mins) in moisture and the plant will drink from the bottom holes at the same time. Also, the white residue in your pot, is mineral deposits from your water. Try using rain or filtered room temp water.

Good to know. I will try that. Thank you!

Actually I use nothing but distilled water on all my plants, and the clay pots still get the mineral deposits. So I think it’s from the soil.

Your soil could also be hydrophobic
