# Heyyy!!! So I have this pothos, I'd guess it's probably 3 years old,…

Heyyy!!! So I have this pothos, I'd guess it's probably 3 years old, maybe even 5, but I need some advice. It used to be very, very full, but now there's fewer leaves, and it just looks sad. Does anyone know what I can do? I just repotted it today into a pot about 2 and a half inches larger, if that helps.

You could try taking some cuttings and propagating, then add them to the pot once they get roots

I was gonna say the same thing. I saw a content creator talk about her pothos pushing out only vines so she cut it so he can regrow bushier

I was thinking of cutting off the leggy vines. But since it's winter we're I live I'm doubting whether I should do that or not.

Growlight-wise: I found a lamp used for seasonal depression treatment that has a full spectrum lightbulb and so mimics sunlight:) it was on Facebook marketplace for 15$ and it works beautifully for my plants!

Love this idea

### Brandi commented on 2026-01-01

Have you tried repotting it to see if the roots need spread out?

#### °☆♡~Tayz~♡☆° replied on 2026-01-01

Yea I just repotted it a week ago
