Plants! Keeping one alive, any advice?

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well. Recently I took down and all the plants out of Nachitos cage, and cleaned everything up. I have this one pothos that is struggling. The thing is, it’s the only plant from when I first got her that ha survived, and it feels like a memento now that she’s gone.
It’s about three years old, and I’d be heartbroken if it completely died. I know it’s in rough shape, but does anyone have advice on how to try and revive it?
(I know it desperately needs to be repotted, but I currently don’t have the resources to do that until college is out for the summer)

I don’t have much advice, but I would propagate at least some of the green ends. You can cut of a part with the little nub (in the picture). let it sit out for 24 hours then put in water until roots develop. After I move them into a little pot and bottom water the plant. I had to do this to Sherbert’s plants a few times, and it worked pretty much each time.

You can totally save that. Cut back every single vine down about 2-3 inches. Then take it strip the soil and repot in good soil. Water it. Within about 2-3 weeks you will see new growth. I did this with one of Beman's originals that completely died back. Now it is growing like crazy.
Thank you!!!! I took a few cutting and plopped them in water. Then cut back all the vines just a little longer, like to a foot max! I’m going to try and get a new pot for it soon too. Fingers crossed, I can’t bare to see this plant die 😖
 
I would repot the Pothos then place the repotted Pothos on a dish in a window sill that receives lots sunlight (if you have got one). Then water the Pothos daily till the plant recovers. That should revive your Pothos.

you want to cut all the vines back to 2-3 inches from the soil... Otherwise the plant is still going to try to feed the longer dying pieces and it will not do as well.
