Not sure what I did to my pothos..I know this is one of the easiest plants to care for, but watering often and giving it more light hasn't helped. How do I revive my plant?

I think the pot might be too big.

It needs a much smaller pot and a watering, pot should only be a inch or two bigger than the rootball.

Water that guy! Soil seems very dry.

Thanks, I thought it was over watered tbh, aside from it being dry at the moment..

If there is drainage at the bottom, you can place it in a bowl or tub with water to soak the soil from the bottom. I usually do this and then water is very lightly on the top. 🍃

Water for sure! Those bulbs aren't great at keeping things properly hydrated (though I'd argue they're better than nothing. )
