Why are my pothos leaves droopy and yellow?

Low humidity and dry soil cause leaves to droop and brown on their edges, later followed by entire yellowing, browning, and leaf drop. Misting the leaves of your Pothos often will increase the humidity.

Why is my pothos droopy after repotting?

Misting instead of watering

That's what you're doing to your plants. Now, I'm not saying you should never mist your houseplants. Misting creates humidity, and some tropical plants appreciate it (though there are more effective methods for increasing humidity around your plants), but it should supplement watering.

Only water the plant when the top 25% of its pot has dried out, and make sure water seeps out through a drainage hole. Never allow a pothos to have “wet feet,” or lingering wet soil in the bottom of the pot.

Why are my pothos leaves curling?

Overwatering leads to waterlogged soil, and pothos roots can't survive for long in saturated soil. Once your plant roots start rotting, all the water and nutrients needed by your pothos to survive are unable to reach to the plant stems and leaves. This causes them to curl in an attempt to retain water.
