My pothos finally decided to grow after sitting dormant for months—turns out it was just bone dry

My pothos finally decided to grow after sitting dormant for months—turns out it was just bone dry. I've learned the hard way that these things are tougher than they look, but they do need *some* water. Now it's climbing up my shelf and I'm honestly shocked at how fast it's moving. If yours is stalled, check the soil before assuming it's happy neglect. Mine bounced back in weeks once I actually watered it properly.
