I've had my golden pothos for about four years now, and after improving my care for it, I'm still just seeing it do okay. It's not dying, but compared to my other plants, it feels like it's lagging behind. For context, in the time my pothos has grown just 4 leaves, my calathea has grown 3 and my succulents have exploded with growth! I recently repotted it, but is it normal for pothos to grow this slowly? What's the secret to getting it to thrive?

Try picking up some plant food like Schultz's 10-15-10 at Walmart. Just follow the instructions and ensure your pothos is getting plenty of light. That combo can make a big difference!
Golden pothos are usually fast growers, so it might be the setup you have that's holding it back. I have to prune mine several times a year because it grows so quickly! I use a liquid fertilizer made for leafy plants, plus some worm casting tea every few months, and it really seems to help speed things up.
It's hard to give solid advice without knowing more about your care routine. What kind of light does it get? Is it in a window? Also, consider the humidity and temperature at home. A pic would help too!
