If you have a leggy pothos plant and don’t want to give it a drastic trim, here are four methods to provide it with a fuller, bushier look.

Propagate Cuttings in the Same Pot

Take a few pothos cuttings, then simply plant them in the same pot as the mother plant. You don’t even need to root them in water first. 

1

Grow Two Plants in One Pot

If you have two leggy pothos plants, you can plant them in the same pot to achieve a fuller look. Or, if you have a pothos plant that’s lost some leaves from the top, you can plant a younger, smaller pothos next to it to fill in the bald spots.

2

Loop the Long Vines Around the Pot

This is a great way to fix a pothos plant that’s only growing on one side or a plant with only one very long stem. 

3

Coil and Pin the Vines on Top of the  Soil

You can use this method to fix pothos with long vines and no leaves. Basically, it is a form of air layering, a propagation method that encourages new root and leaf growth without cutting the stems from the mother plant.
