Help my gifted pothos amplifolia survive

Someone help πŸ’€ this was a #plantmail gift from an Anonymous #plantfairy and I’m so scared its gonna die 😩
I haven’t done much to Epi other than place him in my East facing room.

Checked his roots, they’re looking good, but he’s dropped 2 leaves and the one on the right is on its way out, but with a new leaf emerging 😭

What can I do to help it? It’s about 3-4 ft from my window. Any thoughts? Thanks! @JCPlantProper

4ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 years ago
Have you tried moving him closer to the window so he gets more light?
@Nataliesplants I read they don’t like bright light πŸ˜…
@JCPlantProper @LatiTish84 it is! I haven’t watered since I got it cause I’m scared of overwatering, but I’ll give it a good soak right now and see how it does over the next couple of days! πŸ˜πŸ€žπŸ½πŸ’§πŸŒ±
@JCPlantProper @LatiTish84 Thank you both so much 🫢🏽 gave it a good watering and hoping it’ll perk up 🀞🏽
@kscape oh weird I read a few articles that mentioned they like medium - bright indirect light which is why I didn’t try to buy one of these (they are so cute!). Let me know if he does good in lower light because I have a few lowerlight places I need to fill! Hope he perks up!!
Also, he just had to deal with with USPS, FEDEX, or UPS to get to you- he’s tired. Give him a little bit to breathe in the air in his new home and get acquainted with his new surrounding and he will be fine!
Oh no!!!!! I hope your baby perks up from the water!!! 🀞🀞🀞
Hey @kscape how is epic doing now. Has he recovered?
@Stall54Jo He’s actually still droopy 😭😭 @LatiTish84 @JCPlantProper

Then his leaves started doing this 🫣😭 but there is new growth! A new leaf is emerging but I can’t seem to figure out what it needs πŸ₯²
@JCPlantProper it sits on a shelf that is about 5-6ft from my East facing window
@JCPlantProper @LatiTish84 it sits facing away from direct light! It gets semi-bright shaded light all day but not close to a window! Technically I guess it would be considered medium lighting πŸ˜…

I did water it yesterday but forgot to mark it on Greg and his leaves got a little firmer, but now they feel droopy again.

I don’t have a humidifier because I’m scared of my walls, but it is in an area that reads 75-80 degrees depending on the day. Is that too hot?
@LatiTish84 I did check the roots and the roots are white and THICK! @JCPlantProper

I’ll give it a couple more days and see if it perks up! If not, I’m so scared it’s gonna die on me since this was a gift from an anon #plantfairy πŸ₯²

I think this is the first houseplant I’ve had that doesn’t like me 🀣
Hang in there @kscape. I am hoping in light of the new growth that Epi is still making the adjustment to new living conditions and care.
@JCPlantProper @LatiTish84 uh oh, yellowing stem πŸ₯²

I realized I don’t have soil to repot 🫣🫣
@JCPlantProper @LatiTish84 Update on Epi! πŸŒΏπŸ’§

The leaves are definitely firmer and more perked up after placing in water! There are also new root nubs forming and roots continuing to push out growth where the established ones are!

Thank you both!
