How Can I Revive My Sad Golden Pothos?

Asked by PlantLover42
I recently repotted my Golden pothos into a new pot that has a strainer, but it doesn't seem to be thriving and looks pretty sad. I'm not sure if I'm overwatering or underwatering it. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do to help it out? I added some pictures in the comments for reference.

I get that! Your plant looks like it might have root rot, which can happen if the soil is too dense or if it's been overwatered. Check the roots and see if they’re mushy or brown. If so, you might need to trim off the bad parts and change to a lighter, well-draining soil. Also, make sure the pot has adequate drainage!

NatureNerd71: What type of soil did you use? If it’s the first time using that soil, it could be too heavy for your pothos. Switching to a light, airy mix can really help.
