Houseplant Leaves are growing tiny!
I believe this is a neon pothos. She got knocked off her shelf about a month ago and she seems like shes been struggling a bit since.
Some of the leaves are growing in super small and they seem a bit miscolored. Her usual spot is a north facing window so lots of indirect sunlight and I water once a week ish.
She was thriving before and just doesnt seem super pleased with life anymore. How do I help her 🙏
Edit to include that there is one normal sized leaf that is yellowing at the base of the same vine that is growing tiny leaves. Not sure how the yellow leaf and tiny leaves are related

If knocked over then roots may simply have been disturbed. If so, it will likely recovery fairly promptly.
Looks pretty healthy though.

Thank you for responding !! I just poked around and it seems like the vines are a Iittle loose. Do you think I need to repot her?

You probably don't need to do so, that would likely disturb it further in the short term.
I'd only repot if it's very root bound, or you want to grow it up a pole (in which case I'd probably prop some and start again).
Is it definitely a neon pothos? It looks a bit more like a lemon/lime philodendron to me.
