How to Prune Golden Pothos for Fuller Growth

Reader asks how to prune golden pothos. Expert Will Creed: prune before it looks leggy. Cut any vine at a node (leaf attachment); new growth emerges from node above cut. For bare stems, cut to a few inches above soil. For maintenance, trim random vines 6–12 inches every two weeks. Always cut just below a node.
