It looks like it’s lived its whole life searching for light. The internodal spacing and length of each leaf despite the small size are symptoms of the plant etiolating from the lack of proper light. A well lit pothos will have much tighter internodal spacing like this, maybe 1-2”, not what appears to be 2-6” on yours. If you want it to look happy and full I would chop n prop the whole thing, then place it in bright bright light. They’re also climbers and will get much larger leaves the more aerial roots they can have establish on a growing surface or moss pole.

I’d say mines about 1-2 feet away from a window so should I move it like closer? If you mean that

Yea move it closer. They like light (despite being sold as a low light plant) the more light the more variation as well.

#### Nikiller replied on 2026-09-14

It depends on what direction the window faces. You want to do direct sunlight if it gets morning sun or just barely back from the window if it gets full afternoon sun

#### Anastasia replied on 2026-10-08

Yes or a grow light maybe? Mine live right in an east facing window and they love it!

She's looks like she's having a bad hair day day 🤣 I agree with the comments above. More light and chop \& prop and replant the props back in for a nice bushy look.
