I've had my pothos for about six months now and I'm finally seeing it actually *grow* instead of just... exist. I think I was watering it way too much at first, which seems counterintuitive since everyone says they're forgiving. Anyway, it's now trailing nicely from a shelf in my kitchen, and I'm resisting the urge to propagate it already because I already have eleven plants and my partner is giving me *looks*. Has anyone else struggled with overwatering theirs, or was that just me being overly cautious?
