They are typically fast growers. They will thrive on lots of good light. Water when soil is dry. You could check to see if it needs a bigger pot, if it’s root bound. You could also fertilize it

Thank you cause aside from no growth it looks perfectly fine how do you know if it needs a bigger pot?

### LadyTenorJD commented on 2025-12-20

What kind of pothos do you have? The variegated varieties do not grow as quickly as the greener ones do.

I’m at work so this is the only picture I have currently but it hasn’t changed

Upload a picture of them so we can see. It could be a number of things. Not enough light, too cold of temperature (mine have slowed down growth in the winter) and not enough fertilizer. I use slow release in mine because it's growing up the wall so I always water in place.

I’m not currently home so this is the pic I have but it hasn’t changed at all so I think this should do

Personally I would put her in a slightly larger pot and give her lots of light

#### Katomarose replied on 2025-12-21

I would just leave it be and make sure your fertilizing. I agree with the other person that variegated varieties take literally forever to grow. My snow queen has hardly done anything and only put two leaves on each vine all summer while my golden has grown multiple 3 foot vines and my cebu blue has grown about two feet as well. As long as there is not extensive leaf drop then they are just doing their own thing.

I have a few at home and I’ve noticed during winter they go a little dormant

### Hayley commented on 2025-12-20

My pothos vine that grew over a foot a week has slowed down to almost nothing recently. Her roots are in a fish tank and she's still growing them into all the places she's not allowed. I figured she's done growing leaves for the season.

Manjula tends to be a slower growing pothos. Since you've only had it a little over a month, I wouldn't worry about it. I've attached a pic of mine when I received it in February to now. In comparison to my marble queen, manjula is definitely slow 😄, but they are so pretty. Just give it some time.

My manjula grows faster than my snow queen! These plants really have their own personalities! 😆

### Molly commented on 2025-12-22

@LadyTenorJD. Lol, yes they do have their own personalities and do whatever they want to do. 🤣
