Pothos usually don’t mind smaller pots, but if she’s been in there a very long time, maybe! Try checking the bottom to see if there are roots poking through the drainage holes

Thats a very large plant, it could just be that shes reaching the end of her rope. This happens alot with vining plants, pinch off her vines so she can focus on growing new branches!

Can you explain what you mean by pinch off her vines?

#### zollol replied on 2025-05-29

I have to do this with transcendentias because they will just grow vines infinitely long until they kill themselves by exhaustion. At the end of the vine is a point where new growth comes out, pinch it off, literally just cut the ends off when it reaches desired length. The plant will usually grow new, smaller stalks out of the nodes after this.

Ahhh ok, I did not consider this! Thank you!
