    It doesn’t look dead to me. Give it another shot and definitely water it

    Looks alive still to me. I would try repotting and snipping the dead or dying stuff off. Lots of water.

    Pothos don’t hold water in their roots or leaves so they need a little more frequent watering. I water mine about once a week (but always check the soil first). Yours looks very dry so I’d increase the watering frequency

  6. It looks extremely root bound, give it a pot size at 2 inches larger than the root ball and water it well.

    I would take a cutting now with a couple of nodes and set the cutting in water. The rest repot and water/soak for a while before letting it drain. It looks just very dry to me, but a cutting is just in case the main plant dies. It should recover though if it’s watered.

    The soil is too organic. They like a chunky aroid mix as they grow on trees in the wild.

    OP!!! She’s not dead, she’s savable with new chunky soil. Do you have a picture of the top? She’s just asking to be pampered a bit more that’s all.

    Look at the leaves, it looks alive and not dead. Overall, the other answers are correct: too dry.

    Green and perky, leave it be

    Green and droopy, it’s thirsty

    Too dry? It’s gonna die

    Check dirt once in a while
