I finally got my Epipremnum aureum to trail nicely after months of it just sitting there looking stubborn

I finally got my Epipremnum aureum to trail nicely after months of it just sitting there looking stubborn. Turns out I was watering too much and not giving it enough indirect light near my north-facing window. Now it's putting out new growth every week, which feels like a small victory for someone still learning. Has anyone else found pothos slower to establish than the internet suggests, or is that just me in a cold climate?
