How to get this Pothos to be bushy on top yet continue the vine growth?
My Pothos has been less bushy and yellowing on the top often. Don’t know what it’s pointing me to. I water it once a week, make sure it sitting on a sunny spot in my room. I’d love some insight!
Put it outside where it can get sun for a little bit, it will grow like crazy 😊

The old leaves on top will eventually be shed as the vines grow. It’s a natural cycle.
To get the bushy look on top, you’d need to prune the vines and then place the cuttings back in the pot to root and eventually begin their own growth.
In the wild, the vines would travel along the ground looking for a suitable climbing surface, and once it began climbing it would produce the largest leaves. The older, small leaves shed so that energy isn’t wasted maintaining leaves that provide relatively little return for the investment required to grow them.
