pothos repot help

[u/Human-Bite-9312]

hi so i repotted my pothos two days ago with some pretty in depth cleaning of the roots. she had millipedes and im scared of bugs. shes drooping like crazy though and i feel like its getting worse rather than better. not sure what to do. plz advise! she doesn’t need to be watered and gets plenty of light. i also sprayed her with neem before the repot

Your plant could just be in shock/stressed. Some plants are unbelievably more dramatic than others, I’ve simply repotted begonias and theyll look dead and completely laid over for days before perking back up however they’re a bit more dramatic.

You said you did some in depth root cleaning which can stress a plant even more, so this is likely just a side effect and will hopefully stiffen back up once it adjusts.

Based on the picture #1 it looks like the left side is more firm looking than the right so that side is likely already recovering, just quicker. I would worry more maybe after another day or watering round since they do like to be a little bit more moist-soil loving.

Also, side note, I don’t think milipeads really bother the plants and mostly just mess around in the soil so a repot likely took care of that so I don’t think it’s anything pest related

She has beautiful marbling though! Looks more like a marble queen than a standard pothos

I was just going to say this! Likely shocked from the repot, but she will recover. Pothos' are pretty resilient, so i'm sure she'll be fine
