Pothos not growing

Hey there! I've had thede pothos cuttings for probably more than 6 months and pretty much the've grown little to none at all. I got them from a friend and I'm not sure what the problem might be. It might be that I water them to little. I normally water them when the soil is almost dry. I've noticed that for 1 of the 2 pots, the roots have barely grown. I propagated them in water and the roots are almost the same as when I put them in soil. I know that pothos should be a fast growing plant so it's a bit strange to me. The pothos I bought from the store are doing just fine.

They grow well during the warmer months when there's better light, but barely grow at all over the darker winter months.
I think you just need to wait - now we've passed the equinox they should start growing.
I feed mine with diluted seaweed extract about once every 2 weeks, but only when they're growing. Over winter I leave the compost quite dry.

As a side point: I have never noticed fertiliser make any short term difference. Certainly not to root growth. I do it, as a knee jerk response to all the promotion, but only for plants that have been growing well for over 4 months.
