Anyone have any tips on getting Pothos to actually vine? I've had three different types (marble queen, neon and golden) for about a year and a half now and they've all been seemingly healthy, but don't really ever have any new growth. Each stem only has one or two leaves, so they're all fairly short plants despite being healthy.  
Since several of them have been like that for so long, I'm assuming it's a me problem, but wasn't sure what to watch out for; I've tried adjusting watering frequency and lighting levels (proximity to grow lights) over long periods of time but none of those changes seem to have had any effect, which makes me think it's something else.

How do you fertilize?

#### siddybid replied on 2024-03-08

I use a dissolving tablet fertilizer every couple months

Makes me wonder if they’re in too big of a pot and focusing on growing roots over new growth. I’d switch up the fertilizer too.

Can you add some pictures? What kind of potting soil are you using? Any signs of pests?

Trellising always gets my vining plants going, most vining plants like to climb in nature, so maybe give that a try. They’re affordable on Amazon and Etsy

I have the same issue so thank you for posting this! Good luck

There’s also rooting hormone, and other stimulant supplements that I can’t remember the name of that u can run on the nodes on the vines to help growth
