Asking for help again, my golden pothos is drooping and has some yellowing leaves.

I just repotted it into some low moisture soil mix (orchid bark, perlite, house plant soil mix) before repotting it the leaves were just turning yellow. After repotting them the leaves have become droopy.

The roots all looked good when I repotted (white, long, with secondary stems) so I’m confused on why it would still be struggling. Please help. #NewPlantMom
4ft to light, direct
8” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 weeks ago
Hi, Brenna! Sometimes after a repot plants can get shocked, as they’re not used to their roots being messed with in the wild. Give this guy some light and water, and leave it in one spot to establish :) it should be okay!
@MilkNewt just did a full soak on both my pothos! Hoping the droopiness clears up. I’ve had my golden about a month or two now. It had fungus gnats when I first brought it home so that was my first repot.

The first repot is when it originally started getting the yellow leaves (which I’m guessing was some shock.) I let it adjust for about 2-3 weeks and it would throw a yellow leaf once a day or every two days which is what led to me repotting into the low moisture mix, thinking it wasn’t getting enough drainage.

Hoping she’ll make a full recovery. She’s definitely been my problem child lol
She’s looking much better and unfurling a new leaf or two! Thanks for the help!
