    Hi,
    I have a small pothos that came from a larger, well established plant at work. it is an offshoot, small, has roots that are established enough. brought it home and put it in a small pot where its been for about 4 or 5 months, my problem is that i havent noticed it doing anything. I had understood that the pothos was a fast growing plant. is it going to be a while before it does anything because its a small plant?
    thanks for any help or advice that you all can offer.

    You may have an air pocket around the roots .. and when that happens it really wont grow .. just give the pot a good tap a coupe of times on the counter and it should knock the dirt around the roots.. you might have to add a lil more dirt after if you notice it going down some ..

    The roots are probably still getting themselves established somewhat. As we head into more light now, you should start to see some new growth soon.
