pothos are just fine being snug in their pot. honestly, i'd skip the moss pole and just use a plastic or wooden stake. the upkeep of a moss pole was very annoying for me.

Pothos prefer to be left alone until they have to be repotted. My neon was in the same pot for 6 years with zero issue. I let her trail so she doesn’t have a stake. When her shoots hit the floor I propagate babies. She has made a good 40 houseplants over the years.
