Most of the leaves on my pothos suddenly wilted and darkened in color and the leaves feel too soft. I’m not very familiar with plants, but I did recently take this guy outside in freezing cold temperatures while moving it to a new location, so maybe it’s shock? Is my pothos salvageable? I’m so sad, this is the first plant I’ve been able to keep alive for a year and it’s very sentimental to me 🙁

Questions: Does that pot have drainage? What potting mix are you using? How often does that door open? Does she get blasted with cold air? How much light does she get?
It looks like some of the leaves may have died from the cold. One of the leaves still looks okay & so long as the roots didn’t freeze it should be fine and regrow though. In the future, make sure to wrap your tropical plants up if you take them outside in the winter, even just a minute of being exposed to that can kill the leaves.
it looks like damage from the cold, maybe its sitting near or under an air vent or your fan blows it with cool air on a consistent basis?
I agree with the others. It’s unfortunately damage from cold. The leaves will blacken soon. But it’s a pothos and they’re tough as nails… if not a bit zombie-esque. In the event that you lose all the leaves you can propagate the nodes on the vine and grow several new plants as long as the nodes weren’t damaged by the cold. If even one leaf survives she’ll grow on her own.
