I have had the same pothos plant for the past decade. Once it was a single small plant. It's now a half dozen large plants. Some suggestions:

- If you're fertilizing them, maybe stop doing that. Fertilizer is good when done right, but it's easy to overdo it and burn your plants. Pothos can survive for years in the same potting soil, so stick to plain water and see how they do.

- Give them a small cup of water twice a week. A total of 250mL per week is probably good.

- Put them anywhere near a window, but maybe not in direct sunlight.

- Keep the temperature around 20-25°C (room temperature).

That's basically all I do. The only time I've managed to harm them is from using too much fertilizer.
