Anyone have any experience letting your pothos climb the wall? I’m giving her a little help on her way up

one of mine has attached itself to the wall behind it! the aerial roots anchor and the leaves get big

That’s what I’m hoping for!!

That what I thought mine did this winter—but I moved it. It’s by the window so, I could have easily moved it from a table that’s right next to the spot where it legitimately two inches away to clean the window still.

They love shingling on walls! But just know their aerial roots WILL do a number on the paint 😅. If u are ok with that, then its fine to have them directly climb the wall

Another option that will keep your walls safe is to hang a big panel of cork bark on the wall that they can climb. Or, hang some pieces of clear fishing line from the ceiling (like an inch or so away from the wall) to give the illusion that it’s climbing
