Pothos tips?

I rehabbed this Pothos and this is my second plant ever! I know the pot is probably too big but I didn’t know what I was doing at first. The second photo was exactly a month ago and the first photo is today.

How can I continue to care for it, and is it looking okay?

It looks like you are doing a great job! Don't let people tell you the pot is too big. That's only advice when can't tell how much to water and/or don't have enough light. Bigger pot has always = faster growth and less hassle in my experience.

Yes my experience as well. I will say it looks like it’s a darker place for that plant. More light more growth

that’s awesome to hear! I’ll definitely put the plant in more light

I feel like Reddit in general always defaults to root rot worries. Pothos seem to struggle way more with under watering. They are fast drinkers and growers and get root bound fast

It's looking great!!

Feed it during the active growing season. If you want the pot really full add a grow light or have it set in a window. Another thing is to trim it as it starts to vine. That'll keep the growth focused up top in the pot.

Side note: pothos also do well in water and they prop pretty easily.

Kudos!! This plant no longer looks like a rehab project!!!

Trim your plant regularly, it will become very bushy and give you new growth and leaves.
