My pothos has been absolutely thriving on my sunny windowsill, and I'm honestly shocked because I've killed so many houseplants before. I think the key was finally stopping myself from overwatering it—I was drowning the poor thing out of guilt! Now I just let the soil dry out between waterings and it's putting out new leaves like crazy. Has anyone else found that pothos is way more forgiving once you actually leave it alone?
