I've had my Epipremnum aureum trailing down a shelf for three years now, and I'm finally seeing what everyone raves about. Mine was sluggish until I stopped fussing with it—turned out the indirect light where it sits was enough, and I was overwatering like mad. The new growth is way faster now. Has anyone else found their pothos took months to settle before really taking off, or was mine just being difficult?
