Repotted my Pothos today - was very root bound and growth stopped completely. Does it look okay?

It looks fine to me! The leaves are a little bit curled, so make sure to water it! 💚

Had a good watering after the repot! 🥹 would being under a grow light help?

#### Lucy replied on 2023-08-13

I don’t really know! You could try it if you already have one, but maybe wait to buy one until your sure it needs more light 😊

I already have one set up anyway so thought might give it a try 🙌🏼 move some bits around and see what happens

I dont really think you need a grow light, they burn easy…they grow just fine with ambient light 🤷‍♀️ but fertilizer in water always helps :)
