No but if you want a bushier pothos the best way I’ve found is to take some healthy cuttings from a mature plant (be sure there are nodes for roots to grow), water propagate it and then when there is sufficient roots repot it back into the same plant. This will then grow into its on vine. But pothos don’t split into more vines along the stems so cutting alone doesn’t make it bushier the way cutting something like a basil plant would.

I suggest watching YouTube videos on Pothos propagation. You can cut some leaves, put them in water, once they grow roots, replant them into the pot to fill it out. You need to make sure you know where to cut.
