    Give it a haircut and propogate the cuttings. Once the cuttings have a good couple inches of roots (maybe less maybe more, idk) add them to the plant!

      Can you please show me an example to where I should cut and put into water and how long it should be the vine in the water or should I put it right in the soil?

      Here’s a few examples of my Brazil Pothos that I’m propping; notice how short most of the stems are… 2 to 5 inches at most! (I didn’t want to denude her… 🙈!) I usually let my props get lots of these thin roots before I will pot them in soil. This is a great idea to help your pathos look much fuller and prettier! Any more ???, just ask… Good luck!

    It has large gaps between the leaf nodes an indication it’s growing fast to look for light (or water). Short gaps between nodes will give a fuller plant. It doesn’t look under watered. So, give it more light. About 8 hours of filtered light in a south window or give it a grow light. Cut and propagate as Erin and Alyssa stated. You will need to cut those lanky vines back to the rim of the pot. They will grow back with smaller gaps between nodes giving a fuller look. 🍀🪴

    I have the same plant. Take any vine, or several, I usually trim a few nodes off of all the long vines. The nodes are the parts circled in red. That is where the roots will grow from, and new growth. The line is where you would cut. So you have a couple options. You can cut between each node and put them all in water, or you can cut between ever 2-3 nodes. When I do this I usually take the lowest leaf off so the lowest node can be just a roots node. But it doesn’t make much difference. Just make sure that the node is in water, and after a little while it will start to grow roots. Best of luck!

    The alternative is to add a moss pole to watch it grow like a monstera as the adult leaves split.

    I agree with another poster, it needs more light. It’s too leggy. You could try cutting it back. Also I often turn the stem around and place it on top of the soil. I then fasten it down with some plant clips. Try to get the nodes touching the soil. You can also add a trellis and entwine the stems into the trellis.

    Chopping and propping is EASY! For instance, the pothos on the bottom left photo, I started from a few cuttings from my doctors office; she’s turned into an absolutely gorgeous plant! I have also given away several of these, one of which you’ll see on the bottom right. The plant in the upper picture was a very small plant when I purchased it. I took cuttings, propped them, and then planted them; this did take some time, but see what she looks like now… so full, and vibrant, 🤩! So don’t be afraid to chop and prop, and good luck!
