pls help! i’m new to caring for plants and when buying these i didnt pay attention to the pot the plants were in. the water never drained out and so my pothos and baby rubber plant were literally in swamp water :( i repotted them but they are just so sad. i took the stake out bc i also thought that it had some gross stuff growing in it but now my pothos looks extra depressing. they stay in the shade on my deck (indirect light all day) but ill prob move them inside to help. are they too far gone? should i chop and prop (i dont even know what is able to be saved tho). i also read that too much pruning can cause the plant stress so im also conflicted about that. thank you
