    How fast it will grow will depend on the environment it's growing in.
    I have two Satin Silver pothos growing in my North facing kitchen not too far from the window, but one gets more light than the other.
    Over the 4 years they've been there the one that gets less light has stems about 2ft long, the one that gets more light has stems about 3ft long.

    My golden pothos grows like a weed, several leaves a month.. but my other varieties are much slower.  They also grow faster climbing, rather than trailing.

  • If you provide good light for the pothos plant, you will witness its wonderful growth, which grows like a weed. Don't forget fertilizing and feeding along with lots of light. In addition, pothos are resistant to low light and will grow in this condition.
