I've had my pothos (Epipremnum aureum) for about four months now and it's finally starting to climb up the moss pole I set up. I was worried at first because the growth seemed so slow, but I realized I was probably watering it too often in this humid climate. Once I let the soil dry out a bit between waterings, the new leaves came in noticeably larger. Has anyone else found their pothos prefers drier conditions than expected? I'm curious if this is normal or just my setup.
