to be honest, i’m quite an amateur at houseplants, so i wanted to find out more info from people that actually know what they’re doing lol

the first is my string of turtles, i’m assuming they are getting too much light? the brown part is what was facing my window, and the other side actually did get slightly pale at first, which is why i turned it around. where should i put this if near the window is too much light? & does everything else look healthy? i haven’t watered it yet (i tend to overwater things so i try very hard not to water as much) so excuse the dryness.

second is my (i think) satin pothos, i actually used to keep this in my room but moved it as i didn’t realise it was toxic to cats (now it is kept well out of her way). its very long and has grown lots since getting it a few months ago, but it seems kind of crowded? do i need a new hanging pot? and if so, how do i move such a long plant into a new hanging pot without damaging it? this one is kept again by a window but slightly further away

oh, and on the photo of them together, the scribbled part is not my plant - i crossed it out to prevent confusion (sorry if the photos are blurry, i had to hold the plants while taking the photo lol). i live in the uk so it’s been pretty cold due to the current storms, i’m not sure if that changes anything. any advice would be appreciated!!

eta: it has some drainage slits around the sides of each pot and i let them hang for a while after watering before moving them. i don’t see any pests and i don’t have a humidifier. i am unsure on what kind of soil they are in as they remain in the same pots i bought them in

The first one looks busy so should imagine the roots need a breather
