I need help

My neon pothos has been looking very sad lately, I have checked for pests and there is nothing obvious. The soil was completely dry so I watered it a bit but that was 2 hours ago and it still looks a bit droopy. What should I do?

How much did you water? If the soil is completely dry it might become hydrophobic. Best way to counter this is use a chopstick to make holes, and water the plant inna low-walled tub. Let it sit inside for half to an hour.

Your plant card says it was last watered 2 months ago. Is that correct? Pothos are tropical plants and should be watered when the top couple of inches of the soil dries. Two months in between watering is way too long to go without water for any tropical plant because they are not drought tolerant.
