My pothos finally stopped being stubborn about trailing and is actually putting out decent growth now

My pothos finally stopped being stubborn about trailing and is actually putting out decent growth now. Took me way too long to realize it wasn't the light—it was the water. I was overwatering like crazy, which in our dry climate just meant the soil never dried out. Once I switched to watering only when it felt bone-dry and added some perlite to the mix, it took off. If yours is languishing, that's usually the culprit out here.
