hi! i’m trying to revive a pothos from a previous owner that was in a pretty sorry state when i got it. now its looking a little bit better, but its not putting out very many leaves, and most of the ones it has are wilty and have these spots on them. any ideas/tips would be much appreciated!

She needs a much smaller pot and water.
Chop and prop this one…
The biggest problem is those leaves are wilted because they aren’t getting enough water. The vines may be broken upstream, or the roots may be damaged.
You can try a heavy watering first. Soak the whole pot in a bucket of water for 20 minutes or so.
Im willing to wager that the rest of that plant needs to just be chopped and propped. The soil is so organic that it appears to be compacting and choking the roots.
You can unpot it to check the root system and if theyre still viable then repot in a much smaller pot with soil that is aerated and a little on the chunky side (think lots of perlite, small orchid bark etc). Then give it a good watering- not soggy, but enough to make the pot feel heavier.
