Golden Pothos Help

I inherited two golden pothos a few years ago and I decided to refresh their soil about a month ago. They seemed to be happy in their original soil/pots but the soil had started compacting and pulling away from the sides (and I was feeling adventurous). Admittedly I used potting soil I had purchased a number of years ago, but I added some fertilizer pellets and put them back in their original pots (concrete pots).

Since the soil refresh they seem rather perturbed - their leaves keep dying and there is a grey cast to the top of the soil (see photos). Did I just use bad soil? I did plant them a little more spread out to hope they would fill in the pots a little better and I’m heating pothos might prefer to be more root bound/closer together.

Any help would be appreciated! I’m a plant novice with a historic black thumb but have fallen in love with the greenery and joy they bring to my house and want them to make it!
