# Wondering if I should trim the length on these. They seem to be doing…

Wondering if I should trim the length on these. They seem to be doing fair, but I wonder if the leaves could be a darker green.

I don’t know if lighter leaves are a sign of a problem in this plant, but I think it looks gorgeous as it is!

### sarita comentó el 2024-05-11

this looks like a neon pothos, meaning it’s supposed to be that lighter green! sometimes they can shoot out some darker leaves/variegation, but they’re pretty light naturally and pruning wouldn’t encourage it to be darker

beautiful plant!!!!

Mine is like this! Very lengthy- I love it

You can trim to keep a certain length, or to help encourage new growth up higher keeping it fuller. But not to get darker leaves. The neons are typically going to stay that light color I believe but could possibly darken a little if further from the window, but not positive! They are pretty tho!

I was only asking about cutting back so that it would fill out more. I didn’t think it would darken the leaves lol
