Wondering when it is best to repot a plant. I’ve had this golden pothos almost a year! It’s droopy because it needs water but I noticed a lot of new growth and length. If someone could give me some advice that would be great! Thanks!🪴

Now is the best time to do all repotting between spring to summer which is considered growing season

### Yolanda commented on 2025-06-11

It’s dropping because the roots want more room to travel. The plant isn’t being able to maintain the watering in the soil because of the roots needing more traveling room to grow

Is there drainage in that pot? I’d take it out and look at the roots.

Repot if there are more roots than soil in the pot. Repot in warm weather when it is easier for the plant to recover from damaged roots.
