I've had my Epipremnum aureum trailing down a shelf for about eight months now, and I'm still confused about watering frequency. The soil dries out so fast in my tropical humidity that I second-guess myself every time. I'd love to share a photo of how leggy it's gotten—the new growth looks healthy, but I wonder if I should be propagating to encourage bushier stems or just letting it climb? Has anyone else struggled with keeping theirs full rather than sparse?
