Hello all! Coming for some plant parent advice. I have this beautiful Golden Pothos I got about 2 months ago that had grown happily. I need advice though on the shape of her growth. She has two big stems growing outwards of her pot, which I want her to dangle over, but the rest of her leaves just stick straight upward? Is there any way to get her to curve over or even climb up something without hurting her? Any advice appreciated!

    As they get longer they will hang over. It’s very hard to hurt a pothos. If you want it to crawl up say a wall or something you will need to aid it with string or tacks. It won’t just attach to your wall and grow up by itself.

      Ohhh yes it will 😂😂 if it’s close enough to a wall it will stick those aerial roots to it and climb, climb, climb! (and take your paint off 🤪)

    I found a moss I like and made my own moss poles. I guide the longer tendrils following and guiding their natural bends etc fastening them loosely to the moss pole. (I use thinner green zip ties) When it’s time to water I make sure the moss is good and damp as well to encourage it to root and anchor. I added a second section of moss pole about a month ago.

    She already has a beautiful form by the way. You can start with a wood skewer or something if you wanted but I recommend adding a moss pole if you can. It gives you lots of attachment options.
