【One, how to trim pothos】
When the vines and leaves of pothos become too long, they should be trimmed promptly. It is usually necessary to cut off the parts exceeding 20 centimeters in length to allow new growth. After cutting off the old vines and leaves, the trimmed parts also need to be cared for to benefit the healthy growth of pothos.
Since pothos are shade-loving plants, after trimming, they should not be exposed to direct sunlight, only to scattered light. Otherwise, new leaves may become smaller, fade in color, and easily get sunburned on the edges. However, during times when the sun is not too hot, it's still good to let pothos get some sunlight, as this can make the leaves look lush and glossy.
