# My golden Pothos has been doing so well over that past year but…

_Posted by Julianna R on 2023-10-25_

My golden Pothos has been doing so well over that past year but lately has been growing leaves slightly smaller than the previous with the last leaf being especially small. It has new growth already but I’m wondering if it’s time to repot and if it some more room? Possibly it’s just because of the cooler weather with winter? I’m not sure and would love advice incase it is not happy one way or the other. Thanks!

The same thing happens to me and I’m not sure why. I’m curious as well if there is anything I can do so here for the comments. I do know that they tend to grow later when they are allowed to climb.

Same thing here! Mine got lots of roots - sticking out the bottom of the pot leading me to think I need to repot but have heard they like being root bound

Pothos leaves grow bigger if you allow it to climb up something, as it’s a climbing type plant. Hanging works but it usually results in what you’re saying, small leaves.

Check the roots to see if they are overgrown and repot to the next size pot, if needed.

I suggest repot and fertilize with all natural fertilizer. Hope that helps!
