I’ve been meaning to trim my pothos for a while now but I haven’t been able to bring myself to. She’s starting to thin out on the top now so I think it’s time!

You could just take the bare vines at at the top and coil them and tie them together and then bury them in the soil, they’ll eventually grow roots and it’ll make your plant look fuller and you won’t need to cut it :)

I agree with this also add a small grow light above the pot and it should help encourage a little more growth at the base!  
You could trim the bottom by about a foot and propagate that then repot it into the pot to give the top a fuller look

Never thought of burying the top! Great idea:)

I’ve been meaning to get a grow light for it, I’ll have to get on that

She's too beautiful to chop. I agree with the others, tuck those bare bones into the soil and give her a grow light. She'll be growing new vines off the ones you bury. It's what I did with mine, the vines were about 12 feet long (4 years ago), when I repotted her I tucked in about 6 feet of bare vine. I've taken many cuttings for friends since.
