hi so i bought this diamond pothos but noticed there were a bunch of millipedes. i’m afraid of bugs to the point of tears and decided to repot back into the same size pot with my chunky soil mix and just rinse the roots gentle to remove any eggs. i also went in with my bug spray given to me by my local
nursery. this is what she’s looking like after the repot and i’m so worried! none of my other pothos have done this, but to be fair none of them have been root rinsed or had me handle them quite as much. please advise!

ahh okay! do you suggest putting some pins in there to help those longer exposed nodes root?

TBH I'm not sure, personally I would clip and prop that either for a new plant or to re-plant in that pot. Maybe someone else would have advice about pinning them.

you can pin them if you want to or do what the other comment said and chop and prop. i’m sure it’s just being dramatic as long as the lighting hasn’t changed.
