i have pothos in my tortoise cages. same plants have been in
each cage for going on 8 years, neither has been repotted,
although i do sometimes have to take Mortis' plant out for a
'vacation' when he gets to munching on it too badly. Horus &
Sheila's plant has vined around the cage & rooted into the
substrate, because they're smaller & not as voracious eaters
as Mortis.
i water them once/week or when they're very dry. i keep the
substrate in the cages moist & it's quite warm in there as
well (tropical rainforest edge tortoises). i mist the dust off
the leaves when i water the substrate. they do get quite a bit
of light. i have 2 ReptiSun 5.0 bulbs on the cages, one is a
spot lamp for basking.
perhaps the OPs pothos has spider mites, overwatered, not
enough light... or maybe it needs a tortoise companion ;)
