I've had my Epipremnum aureum for about four months now and I'm finally seeing it put out a new leaf, which feels like a win! I kept it too dry at first because I was nervous about root rot, but once I switched to watering when the top inch of soil felt dry, it really took off. The vines are starting to trail nicely too. Has anyone else found that pothos is slower to establish than people say, or is mine just being moody?
