# I’ve had this (I think golden pothos) for almost a year and almost…

_Posted by Maia on 2024-04-08_

I’ve had this (I think golden pothos) for almost a year and almost nothing has happened- very few leaves, hardly any new growth. It’s only a few weeks ago that I joined planta and started fertilizing and using an additional grow light so maybe I have to be patient, but is there anything I’m missing? I’m a total newbie so anything is appreciated

I have pothos in a tank with a reptile what I’m realizing is that humidity and heating helps a lot with plant growth

Thanks Leah. I have a humidifier that I’ve started cycling through my plant areas every day. The leaves have definitely perked up a bit. Maybe I’ll get another one so I can keep the pothos humid all the time

It sounds like you’re on the right track and low light was the problem. Make sure the soil drains really well!

This plant food works wonders. I use it with all my plants and they grow beautifully.
