Hello, my baby Lana won’t produce new leaves but she’s pretty healthy looking, any advice?

^ was just gonna say the same thing!! Do a lil pruning, I’d try part of the stem!! That seems to always get me more growth. But you’ll have to be patient, and she’ll probably start growing in a different direction from the angle you cut

She’s probably looking for light. The gap between the leaf nodes are very large. Move it to brighter indirect light. Trim it back to the point where the gaps between the leaf nodes are small. It will put out new leaves closer together if the light is sufficient.  
My snow queen pothos is in the picture. She has very short gaps between the nodes. She sits in bright shade at another location.

It looks like she’s pretty leggy, so definitely looking for light. Try moving to a brighter location and giving her a trim to encourage more growth.

Chop that whole leggy stem and use it to make at least 5 propagations! Once rooted (2") put them back in the pot with your mama plant. You'll have a much fuller plant. The original stem that was chopped will activate a new growth point so you will have 2 instead of 1. The more you chop the bushier it will be over time. Also give it a little more light so the nodes aren't as spaced 🙂
