I’ve had this little pothos (unsure what kind) for about a year now and it seems content but isn’t growing like my others are. Do certain pothos grow slower than others? Any tips for making this girl thrive?
She’s just been repotted in tropical soil mix a few weeks ago and gets water whenever the top inch of soil is dry.

Did the roots look good? Does the pot have drainage? Give her more light. I moved potho I thought was giving up outside and she perked up with the extra light. Good luck!

This is a Marble Queen
They are slower to grow than Golden in my opinion. My Golden and Jade both run laps around my more variegated varieties.

I have a marble queen pothos (which looks like that might be what you have?) and it’s done well with a grow light. I used a Sansi clip-on one that looks kind like a book light. These photos were taken less than three months apart. I also use Fox Farms fertilizer and she seems to like it.
Good luck!

After repotting, they will focus on root growth given the new room for roots in a bigger pot. Only after substantial root growth will it start pushing leaves.
If the leaves aren’t growing she could be focusing on growing roots instead to sustain the leaves she does have.
First: Repotting is stressful. It might need a minute to get reconnected to the soil and get happy.
B: Pothos grow under the soil while there is room. As the pot starts to get a little more crowded, the vines will take off.
3: more variegated means more light. The greener areas of the leaves make the food for the plant. A while green leaf makes tons more than a leaf that is 50% not green. Keep it in really bright (not quite direct) light
She looks healthy either way!
Put her in a sunny spot, while marble queen doesn’t grow as fast as golden, mine took off once I moved her to a more well lit spot. She’s thriving now!
