# Help me figure this out- my golden pothos are all now growing…

_Posted by Lo on 2025-03-08_

Help me figure this out- my golden pothos are all now growing beautiful large leaves, thicker stems, but leggy. They have bright indirect west light and are close to the window. They all vine down from the pot. What’s with the drastic change??

With your commont the light seems sufficient... If you noticed the leaf size changing, it may be indicating that the plants maturing. And heavy vine growth is natural for mature pothos. If you don't like them hanging you could give them something to climb instead, like a moss pole. And your leaves would get even larger

Thank you! What do you think about them being leggier but thicker?

If the lighting didn't change, I really think it's just mature growth. The only way to test that is to up the light they get to see if it shortens the internode growth. If you're having winter, possibly the reduction in light hours, if you think it's very different?
