Why is my pothos drooping?
Some of my photos leaves are starting to droop, I mist them 2-3 times a week & only water when the Greg app tells me too. I’ve given him lots of bright light in the day & have even tried grow lights at night, I don’t want to loose him, any suggestions? #photos

Your plant card says no drainage….. check it for root rot. Pothos like well draining soil and prefer to dry out between waterings. Mine is thriving in bright bright light. It was actually in full sun and overcast for a week or two but now it’s inside and repotted in a north window. Is there a specific reason you’re misting it?? That might be giving you problems due to excess water buildup. Don’t water unless the soil is dry for several inches and if you want you can give it a warm shower or put it out in the rain for a watering. But, definitely repot into something with drainage and add perlite to the soil.
@sarahsalith I haven’t had it very long, I transplanted it when I got it about 10-14 days ago, I never even thought of that, thanks!
@Jilliebeanstalk not sure why it says no drainage, it is in a pot with drainage for sure! Thanks 😊
@Empoweredgreens upon further inspection 🧐 the long root piece with several leaves coming off it it a bit sideways. That should be IN the soil with the leaves facing the sky. That little tiny brown thing on it is a root forming off a node. So just gently lay that guy in the soil and it’ll strengthen up and give you a bushier plant, then it will trail much stronger. I think I see bark in there and pothos do well in orchid bark. I repotted mine 5 days ago and this morning I have several new leaves.
