Can anyone tell me why this Pothos is so wilted looking. She was loosing leaves so I put her in water. She started off fine now despite the healthy roots this is how she’s been for a while. She is putting out tiny leaves. I can’t figure it out.

I have the same problem too i’m pretty sure it’s due to sunlight

### LeafyGreenhouse commented on 2026-06-30

It’s shock (idk why they do this but) my leaves do this too, the new leaves should not droop as much

### Dot2462 commented on 2026-06-30

It’s been under a grow light for quite a while.

I guess it could be shock.  
Thanks

This happened to me as well. I had repotted it, it was doing well then it just went

### I love plants commented on 2026-06-30

I am having this same problem!

### Greenthumbhopeful commented on 2026-06-30

How often do you change the water? If you have roots maybe try putting in soil.

### Dot2462 commented on 2026-06-30

Weekly, I guess potting is the next step. Thanks all

I swear that pothos are easy but at times, they do this and it’s so confusing!

### Skylee commented on 2026-06-30

Most likely just shock from being put in water after being a soil plant. My plant went through the same thing, but is now doing just fine and growing new roots. I wouldn’t worry about it

### Dot2462 commented on 2026-06-30

Pothos use to be the one sure plant that everyone could grow. I’ve had them outgrow their space in no time, so I’m also confused.
