yu nuh hear mi seh mi did kill off wan cactus a while back? I think the problem is the humidity during the winter and not so much the coldness. All my plants that died went during the winter...even those in the warmer part of the house.

That wasn't a pothos. It is a Heartleaf Philodendron.

Changing soil or topping off a little is a good idea now and then.
