Is it better to let pothos plants hang or climb? If it’s better letting them climb, can they climb drywall by themselves?

Both are great! It’s just up to personal preference. They don’t really climb drywall by themselves, you typically have to train them to where you want them to go. This can look like tucking them around something on a nearby shelf, pinning them with certain clips to the wall, etc. There are some cute leaf designed clips on Amazon that blend in really well with the plant :)

Both, but be aware that they CAN damage drywall. I didn’t know this until recently.
