Should pothos be fertilized in winter? It seems counterintuitive since they are usually resting now.

I fertilize year round but fertilizer at 1/4-1/2 the strength in the winter!

I fertilize if they are growing even if the growth rate slows down. I reduce the amount of fertilizer in cold months.

I fertilizer normally year round

Year round crew!

I fertilize year round but I also live in a warm climate that means my plants don't go truly dormant in the winter. I do cut my Fertilizer a little more during the more gloomy months, which I don't get a lot of. SoCal gets a lot of sun year round.
