My satin pothos keeps on growing bare vines. Does anyone know why? I keep on cutting it back hoping it will start generating leaves with no such luck!

Those are runners! If you think the plant has ideal conditions and otherwise seems healthy, it’s probably no big deal. However, this could mean it needs a bigger pot (sometimes the leaf size on other vines will continue to decrease if this is the case). Or it could need more light.

You can propagate this if you want
