# Could someone give me advice for my plant? Just recently my plant has…

Could someone give me advice for my plant?

Just recently my plant has become very droopy and the leaves feel very bendy/thin.

It was thriving a week ago but now it’s not getting better.

I’m assuming I over watered it on day but I checked the soil and it feels pretty dry.

Any suggestions or tips as to what I might have done and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks is advance \<3

Pothos usually tell you when they need water, and this is one of those signs! Try bottom watering or making sure the excess water drains out before placing the plant back up. They get very droopy when they need water - like a lot of plants - and they should perk up in a couple of hours! Just make sure to monitor it and wait about a week to a week \& a half (depending on pot size, etc) before watering again. I’m going to guess you unwatered her in the beginning, as Pothos don’t usually droop like this - at least in my experience w/ them - unless they go without water for a few weeks.

They like to dry out but not for to long, mine love lots of sun in a south facing bay window. These ladies are 33 years old. I make sure to cut them back every so often as I can’t find pots bigger then 20 inches. I also fertilize regularly and give them an epsom salt boost each watering.
