I've been dealing with some issues with my Silver Satin Pothos. It's gotten quite leggy and the leaves are much smaller than they used to be. I tried cutting it back a few months ago, but that didn't seem to improve things. Any advice on how to help it thrive? #silverpothos #SilverSatinPothos #Pothos #SatinPothos

If it's leggy and small leaves, usually it's a sign of tio little light. You can try a grow light or put it nearer to the window

@Araceae, this is her position; she is next to the window. I will move it and place it in front of the window. Should I trim it now or wait until spring?

@iWhilby2021 i dunno anything about how the seasons affect houseplants, no such thing as spring, fall or winter here. But then again this plant is native here so it might not be affected so long as your temps are stable

@Araceae I didn't realize you are located in Singapore. Thank you for your suggestion.

I would try placing on a window ledge where the top of the plant receives light and that may help with the leggy vines. You can also try giving it something to climb, that will help the leaves to size up. Hope this helps you
