My friend gave me this satin pothos last year and I was a full gorgeous plant.
I repotted in late Oct early Nov because it was very root bound. After that it has yet to perk back up. First the leaves would not uncurl and now the leaves suddenly decided to turn yellow and fall off.
It's kept in front of a north facing window. I usually water it 1.5-2weeks depending on how dry the soil is. I water it thoroughly.
Is it just transplant shock and would it revive itself if I just leave it alone? Or is it just dead and I should start propagating seriously?
Any advice would be helpful! I hate to see it in this sad state. I feel like I've killed a such a easy plant đ

I would say, take it out of the window, it’s too bright. My satin pothos are in the middle of a darker livingroom & they are thriving. The plant might be cold in the window also. Pick off the brown leaves & bottom water the plant & give it some humidity…does not look dead, just unhappy.
I had a similar issue. Looked close to death for months or years? I propagated a few cuttings because I thought it was a goner. It never died. Now I have many plants. The original still isnât fully healthy but it put out new growth after the haircut so I call it a win.
This is a Scindapsus. It’s not in the Epipremnum family. I have found their care to be a bit different; I treat my Scindapsus more like a succulent, and I had it in a south-facing window before moving it under a grow light for winter. It’s been fast growing for me with lots of light. I personally would chop and propagate this plant. Propagating some of the parts of the plant that are taking energy, but not renewing it can help the rest bounce back.
Dude, water it. Like, soak it in a bowl of water for half an hour. Depending on where you live, you need to water more frequently in the winter.
You need a back up plan. You need to trim it and put the nodes in water. They take a little while to root but youâll still end up with a plant in the end. How did it get like this?
