The roots of Pothos need oxygen and this can only be achieved if the soil in which your pothos is planted has a chance to dry out. This leads me nicely to the next care step that needs to be spot on if you want a thriving plant and something you should always address if you need to fix your pothos. Only place it back in its decorative pot once excess water has stopped running dripping through the drainage holes. It’s really important that you give these plants a good soak and allow the water to drain through the drainage holes. When you do water your pothos I recommend using room temperature water and removing it from its decorative pot and placing it in a sink or over a bowl. If you can feel the moisture in those top two inches then hold off watering and check again in a few days. If the top two inches of soil is dry, then you have the green light to water your pothos. To do this place two fingers into the soil around your plant.
