First, I’m horrible at identifying, can someone give me their names? I think a jade and a Hawaiian?
Also any tips to get them to vine? I kept them in these pots so they can focus on their roots and then hopefully start vining but no luck yet. Ann the new growth seems to start RIGHT after the previous new growth! I do love how bushy they are but I would LOVE for some vines too!
Thank you for any tips!

How long have you had them? How long have they been in their current pots? Be patient, they’ll get there!
It’s a Golden. And it’ll vine soon enough, the growth habit is very compact and “bushy” shortly after propping until the plant feels established. Then it will vine out looking for something to climb, still small leaves but much larger internodes, then if it’s able to root into something, it’ll change again to its adult form with larger leaves
Lovely golden pothos! Just give it some time. It looks like it’s doing well, and some pothos just like to grow bushier than others. It’s got short spacing in between the nodes, which means it’ll take a little longer for the vines to grow long but they’ll be beautifully lush looking when they do!
I got mine last October and it didn’t start vining until I put it in a hanging pot last month! Now the vine is hanging below the pot 🙂
What do you mean by vine? It’s a pothos, they always have one new leaf right after another in a line. Those are the “vines.” If you want more growth points, trim a node or two, propogate those, and replant them in the same pot.
It might need more sunlight, some fertilizer (but a gentle one, nothing strong), different substrate, etc.
Just gonna take some more time!
Because it’s happy and not reaching for light 😊
Need to be patient it will vine you can hang in a window or a pot to do this also, you should train it to trail once you start it will continue on its own.

I have a question I have a whales fin snake plant I was wondering it needs to be repotted was wondering if I should water it after repotting it or wait ah few days before I do this only concerned because, it is of the snake plant family and don’t want to kill it because of root rot?
Thanks yogurtok1432
They are vining, the vines are just short right now and not hanging out of the pot yet. The vines are also really close to the soil so they are rooting into the soil too. With good growing conditions, the leaves grow very close together and there isn’t much bare stem/vine between the leaves. I’m thinking maybe you’ve seen some sad light starved pothos with long empty vines?
Example of a vine with leaves pretty close together, this is what your plant is definitely doing, which is good.
