Is my Pothos too long? The new growth is amazing, but it’s losing A LOT of leaves in the middle to yellowing. Debating on cutting it back and trying to propagate like crazy.

It might need to be repotted, check the roots! I’d def trim the one that is missing most of the middle leaves and propagate it

Thank you! I did propegate a lot beginning of this year and those vines are doing great. The long ones I left are struggling a little tho😅

Haha I was going to say that’s the longest pothos ever!

Think cutting back is the move?😂

Maybe the one that has fewer leaves in it could be trimmed down. Pothos are such sturdy plants. I have only recently become interested in plant care and my pothos managed to survive years of neglect.
