Agree, that is a Golden Pothos. I grow them indoors year round. They do slow down in growth come winter even indoors, and I keep them drier too. I think it is the effect of the change in the angle of dappled sunlight they get and I tend to keep our indoor temps at 68F during winter at night and 60 to 65F during daytime. I grow some of them in water gel beads in a glass, so as the beads shrink allowing good airflow at the root level. Those that I grow in soil in a container, I am careful in watering, since it is in slowdown, the leaves give me a sign of overwatering, going curly brown and limp. Though that appearance can also signify it is drying out. So you can check the soil if it is still damp or too dry already. Stick a skewer at the soil and see if it comes out damp then no need to water. It perks up again and goes back to its active growth of new leaves in Spring.

I try not to give any plant food for the tropicals in winter. Most of them are in slow down mode. And Golden Pothos is one of the more resilient ones, will keep growing and growing even without those added fertilizers, as long as the favorable growing conditions eventually return.

I do not grow the other plant so go with what others will suggest Smiling
