Is this a pothos N’joy?  
I need some recommendations. I started fertilizing a few months ago and have seen tremendous growth, but why is it shooting up and not falling to the sides of the pot?

The little specks of variegation make me think it’s more than likely a pearls n jade. Very similar to the N’joy. \& it should start trailing as more leaves come in on the stems you currently have, rn it’s just growing towards the light

#### Madison replied on 2023-11-07

is there a specific way to tell the difference between the two? is the care the same?

N’Joy will tend to have green and white variegation with speckling only on the white sections whereas the pearls and jade still has the white and green but will also have speckling on both green \& white sections

A pic of my N’joy (I also mixed with a global green) for comparison

This is my N’Joy. I got it this past summer. The longer vines grew out over the summer. It takes time. It’s a slow grower compared to a golden pothos.
