It was doing fine but lately is has been dropping leaves and looking wilted and sad.
Since I got it on have been watering it with distilled water every couple of weeks, or when the leaves start to wilt. Until recently it has been bushy and healthy looking.
It is kept near a window but now in direct sunlight and I also have one of the blue LED grow lights on it during the day

Check for thrips or other pests. My pothos began to be leggy like this and that was one of the first signs.
looks like it maybe needs a better light source or better window? and distilled water is absolutely void of nutrients so i’d switch to a mineral water. my pothos thrives on neglect tho
She needs a drink of water as well, when the leaves curl in, shes wating a drink
Distilled Water? Is there a reason you are using DI water? I think its getting stripped of nutrients. I’d start adding a liquid fertilizer to the water, and maybe start using regular water – sounds like its lacking nutrients.
If it were me maybe a soil change but overall its looking pretty good besides leaf curling
If you only it every couple of weeks it might jut be very thirsty. Has the temperature/amount of sunlight changed lately?
Judging by the internodal spacing lower down I’d say this plant has been very deprived of sufficient light in the past. :3
Don’t wait for the leaves to wilt before watering, fertilise at least once a month, and provide ample bright, indirect sunlight. TBH I’d just cut back all those light-deprived vines and see if she’ll grow in bushier now that you have a grow light on her.
My pothos leaves start curling like that when it’s thirsty
Why distilled? Also are you pouring water in or just doing a full soak?
Most of the LED lights dont work unless they are a couple of inches away from the leaves
Wattterrrrrrr
Water it
Stick it under a faucet and drown it
Sunlight
Sunlight and give it spring water / tap distilled is good for like Venus flytraps that need very little nutrients – it probably need fertilizer too
More water more light!
Looks extremely thirsty
wateerrrrrrrrr
Water. Mine does this when it’s thirsty
Try coffee grounds. My pothos is flourishing after
Reeeeeeeeeepotttttttt
Edit: bc the roots can’t absorb water from the soil if there’s no soil and just roots
Light & water!!
idk much but i was told you’re supposed to water it any time the soil gets dry… it looks pretty dry lol just water it
Better Water quality and better lighting. In the wild they’re naturally climbing plants. It looks like the ends are leggy and small because it’s hidden from natural light source
Is that a wardrobe? Plants need light
Water
It just needs a larger pot.
Not gonna be easy, but turn the pot upside down using your hand.
Then put a bag/ cone made out of newspaper- anything that will keep leaves upright and tight once you flip it back into a 10 or 12” hanging pot with soil.
I’m not a fan of suggesting marketable potting mix, but Miracle Gro is quite nice.
Why a larger pot? That little 6 or 8” pot can’t hold enough water at the moment.
Hopefully that helps. Good luck!
