depends on your preference! they will grow BIG leaves on a moss pole, but they do very well trailing too. the key is good light ☀️😎

I'm a full believer in letting them climb. I actually just made this comparison picture today for my favorite pothos. The first one is the day I got the trellis... now I need a bigger trellis lol

I also had a pothos cutting gifted to me with 6 leaves in June. By August, it had 9 leaves and I decided to put it on a moss pole. Now (about a month later) it has 12 leaves

If you let them hang, your vines will eventually just trail to the floor.
