I am a notorious pothos over waterer so I always try to err on the side of caution when watering. Beautiful plant!!

agree to let it dry out — under is definitely better than over watering. plenty of bright light. and don’t be afraid to prune!! you’ll get a fuller, more lush plant over time

Thirded, don’t water til it’s 100% dry. If you want bigger leaves, you can give it a moss pole to climb

Follow Planta’s care schedule, and trust that you’re doing just fine. You got this! 💚
