Pothos Recovery After Complete Defoliation

Excellent Prognosis

As long as roots and stems are intact, your pothos will recover fully. The sentimental value makes this great news.

Immediate Steps

1. Prune all leafless vines back to 1–2 inches.
2. New growth will emerge just below each cut.
3. Expect several months for full recovery.

Adjusted Care

• Water less frequently—fewer leaves mean less water uptake.
• Do NOT repot or fertilize during recovery.
