I've had my Epipremnum aureum for about four months now and it's finally putting out new growth after a slow start

I've had my Epipremnum aureum for about four months now and it's finally putting out new growth after a slow start. I think the issue was inconsistent watering—I was being too cautious. Now I'm letting the soil dry out between waterings and it seems much happier. My trailing stem is getting long enough to look actually nice on the shelf. Does anyone else find pothos slower to establish than expected, or did I just get unlucky with mine?
