I've had my Epipremnum aureum trailing along a shelf for two years now, and I'm finally admitting I've been watering it far too often. The arid climate here means it actually prefers to dry out between waterings—something I kept fighting against out of habit. Since I backed off, the stems have thickened noticeably and new growth looks healthier. Anyone else overthinking their pothos care, or is it just me?
