My pothos has been absolutely thriving in a bright corner of my living room, but I'm realizing I might've been babying it with water. I switched to the "wait until the soil dries out a bit" method last month, and honestly, it's looking even happier now—the leaves are glossier and there's new growth everywhere. Has anyone else found their pothos actually prefers a slightly drier routine? I always assumed they were thirsty plants, so curious if I've just been overcomplicating things.
