# This satin pothos I’ve had for a few years and it is so slow growing…

_Posted by Leah on 2024-09-28_

This satin pothos I’ve had for a few years and it is so slow growing and the leaves are constantly curling. I haven’t watered it in quite awhile and my moisture meter says it’s still moist, it’s near a window and gets a decent amount of light, any ideas?

Did you just repot it? Mine do that after repotting. And I've got one that dis the same so i cut it and propagated them and now its doing great. If it doesn't change soon then that's what i would do. Chop and prop.

Also, I’d say that the soil would benefit from being a bit more chunkier, especially if it’s still moist and you haven’t watered it in awhile

I would guess the roots aren’t getting enough air. Add some perlite, bark chunks and clay balls to your soil so it’s chunkier and the roots can get air sooner after watering.

Moisture meters are unreliable. Just shove a stick in the soil and what sticks is the percentage of how wet the soil is.  
Mine is in a east facing window and although it’s not the quickest grower it does like the light

Mine is in an east facing window too, I was worried it was too much light but glad to know it’s not that much
