Fortunately, repotting pothos plants is pretty straightforward and can be done in just a few steps.
Spring and summer are the best months to repot a pothos.
Pothos prefer a potting mix that is rich and loose, and retains some moisture but is also well-draining.

For that reason, a loamy potting mixture that is amended withperliteor sand is ideal.
These two ingredients can be found at most nurseries and garden centers, or you could order them online.
Simply combine one part potting soil with one part sand or perlite.

It is also important to choose the right pot for your plant.
The most important part about the pot is that it provides adequate drainage.
This means that it has drainage holes at the bottom where excess water can drain.

Drainage holes help to prevent overwatering and root rot and are important for all container plants.
Fill in excess space around the root ball with soil.
Water Generously
Waterthe freshly repotted pothos generously until water streams from the pot’s drainage holes.

Then, return the plant to its original location to minimize the chance of it going into shock.
Pothos are hardy houseplants and usually recover easily from repotting.
However, if you notice your plant is developing a fewyellow leavesin the weeks after its been repotteddont panic!
