One thing I’ve heard to achieve big leaves is a moss pole ! Haven’t tried myself but I’ve heard lots of good things 😁

Omg I put a moss pole in one of my pothos and now the leaves are as large as my hand!

Never thought to do it to my pothos ! I have mine beaded and hanging 😇 I’ll have to try that !

Bright light , trellis or moss pole pole , nice chunky soil mix and the roots like to be snug so don’t move up in pot size unless you see the roots coming out from the bottom drainage soil

It takes time. They’re somewhat slow growing \& takes 3 years for them to mature

But definitely lots of light. I acclimated mine to an east-facing window so it gets direct light in the morning. Hoping it’ll size up faster
