Hi! My marble pothos has been growing quite a lot in a year, but I've noticed there aren't new leaves for a while, especially in the middle looks very leggy. I leave it hanging indoors, indirect sunlight, bright room the way it shows on the photos. I water it 1 time every 2 weeks. It doesn't look super bad, it's just weird the foliage missing in the middle. Any ideas?
You could always chop it, reroot the cuttings and plant them back in the soil or if you don’t want to chop it you can just wrap the vines around the base of the plant making sure the nodes are touching the soil. Pin them in place and just let them root that way. The latter would allow you to have the plant look fuller right ways instead of waiting until the cuttings reroot and repotting them.

I have done this and it works great!! Just make sure there is enough soil! I noticed the first time I tried and was unsuccessful it was because my plant was pot bound
0 LikesLeggy plants usually are looking for light. So I would try and move it to increase light. Depending on where you are, this time of year can drastically change the amount of light a certain spot is getting. So what was happy at one time may not be happy at the moment. For a fuller plant I would do as the above person said, wrap them back into the soil ensuring the nodes are in the soil. I like using bobby pins. Or chop it and propagate it as the above person also said! Whatever esthetically works best for you.
2 Likes I love the idea of wrapping the plant into the soil so then I don’t need to chop it to make it look fuller. And yes I agree, this time of the year can definitely be tricky. I think for the sunlight I might move the plant to a stand and observe. While I love it suspended, it doesn't get as much light that way.
