I don’t like how my pothos internodes are so densely packed. Any tips on making them grow longer?

A lot of “crispy leaf” problems aren’t watering issues.They’re air issues. Most tropical houseplants (yes, I’m looking at you Calatheas, Monsteras, Pothos) thrive in 50–70% humidity. When the air is too dry, you might notice: • Brown crispy edges • Leaves curling inward • New growth struggling to unfurl • Random sad vibes How to boost humidity without turning your house into a swamp: 🌿 Group plants together 🌿 Use a humidifier (game changer) 🌿 Pebble trays 🌿 Keep them away from AC vents Reminder: Misting ≠ long-term humidity fix. It’s cute. It’s temporary. It’s vibes. What’s your home humidity sitting at right now? Drop your % below if you know it 👇

When a plant starts struggling, the instinct is usually to change everything. More water. Less water. New Light. New Spot. New soil. But most plant issues come down to just a few core things—and it helps to slow down and check those first. Start here: 1. Soil moisture: Is the soil actually dry, evenly damp, or staying wet too long? A lot of issues come from watering too often, not too little. 2. Drainage: Does the pot have drainage, and is water able to move through the soil freely? If roots can’t breathe, nothing else matters. 3. Light: Has the light changed recently—even slightly? Seasonal shifts and furniture moves make a bigger difference than we think. 4. Stability: Has the plant been moved, repotted, or adjusted multiple times? Sometimes the fix is stopping adjustments and letting it settle. Most plants don’t need a big correction. They need one small change—and time to respond. If something feels off, pause, observe, and change one thing at a time.
