When should I repot my pothos?

How often does my plant need to be repotted? For smaller desktop plants, we suggest repotting once every 12-18 months. Typically you want to choose a potting vessel 1”- 2” larger in diameter to allow for growth. Don't choose a pot much larger than the previous as this could drown the plant's roots.

Should I repot pothos after buying?
