I got this beautiful mother pothos who has been thriving in neglect? Almost a month ago now. She had a newborn approximately 6 months old that just died in my care. I dont know if im taking care of her properly. They butchered her tail! … do i need to repot? Shes been sprouting from the big stem .

Pothos tend to prefer to be more on the root bound end of the spectrum. However, they can be heavy feeders. So, fertilizer/rejuvenating the soil is necessary after awhile.
However, nothing shows me shes close to needing a repot at this moment. Pothos tend to be vining plants, so trying to grow out of the pot is NOT a good indicator that it needs a repotting.
Marble queen by the looks of it.
Check the roots, not the top vines
I don’t think that pothos do better rootbound. I feel like that is said about every plant and I agree to an extent and disagree as well.
The plant will concentrate on trying to grow its roots to fill the pot, so it’s not growing the leaves. I did the rootbound thing with my marble queen and had to cut a bunch of its roots cuz they were stuck in the bottom of the pot. So for me, I repot then when the pot is full of roots but not yet rootbound.
The roots will tell you!
