Over or under watered after repot?

Question

I’m worried about my pothos, I repotted both of these recently and they are drooping, and one is yellowing. I’m not sure if they need a watering or if they are overwatered.

My best advice is lift the pots. Usually you can tell by weight if its dry or wet . Think of a bucket of water weight when you lift. Waters pretty heavy . Dry potting medua very light. Or try a chopstick to stick inand see if it cones out wet

I will say most people dont wet their media before use. If your media was dry and you potted with it then it may need axsoak to really truly getvit to hydrate the first time. Test this by weight too. Lift it dry and remember the feel. Then water it and right aftter lift again. Did it double weight or bareky change ? If it didnt change it needs a soak to break the hydrophobic lock

Think of a brand new sponge  not wanting to soak up at first cause it was so dehydrated that its poresxare locked. It nedds a squeeze a few times to get it to work right
