My golden pothos has been declining a ton these past few ...

@Succulent_Soul based on all those brown crispy dead leaves, the wrinkling of the stems, and no signs of oedema or waterlogged spots, I think you might need to be watering this one more frequently. πŸ€” Remove all the dead leaves, and water when the pot is practically dry. (I live in a cool humid climate and I water mine when 90-95% dry. If you live somewhere much drier or hotter you might need to water sooner than I do.) Do not let the pot stay dry for days. And repeat.
@DreamMachine thank you. I just recently watered it two days ago and the soil is still damp. Should I repot it? It has been in that same pot for at least a few years and the soil might just be too old.
@Succulent_Soul well, still being damp after two days is pretty normal, but if it’s been in the same pot for years I would absolutely recommend a repot with nice fresh soil. Just remember to pick the pot size based off the root ball size. You only want the pot *slightly* bigger than the root ball. For a plant this size, I would guesstimate about an inch bigger. When you have the right sized pot, I would also recommend making sure the soil comes up to within an inch of the top of the pot as well. That way there will be better airflow. ☺️🌬️πŸͺ΄
@DreamMachine thank you for the advice I will definitely try repotting it.
