Does anyone have tips or tricks to make pothos grow long vines? I would love mine to start draping down more but I can’t seem to get them to grow more leaves! They’re not dying, but now growing. Thanks!

I have a spotted pothos in a window but shaded by a shelf. So bright but indirect sun. He was getting very leggy and not very full until I used my roommates small humidifier to mist the crap out of it every other day. They reallyyy like to be humid especially with these colder temps and lower humidity you might have in your house during the winter. He’s filling out a ton and vining like crazy with new leaves and vines sprouting. Good luck!

I also have a slow-water bulb in there with him that I fill up once a week. That’s the humidifier in the back

I agree bright indirect light, for at least 6 hours a day, helps the plant grow. Fertilizer is also needed at least once a month in winter. I add SuperThrive which has vitamins that helps the plant flourish.
