Thoughts on what to do with my Pothos? It has one long vine and the rest are growing straight up. Should I let it be or should I propagate it?

Looks healthy, I would think the rest would grow into long vines eventually

Agree with brittrb, those spots that are growing straight up will eventually vine and cascade down just like the long one! It looks great! 😍

It looks like it's trying to reach for the light. Do you open your curtains? If you do what window is it facing? If its north then it needs more light.

The Pothos looks great, and you have several great options here. You can let the plant continue to produce long vines to be draped over a bookcase; you can add a moss pole for the vines to crawl up vertically; or you can trim the vines to propagate multiple, free Pothos plants. Pothos are the best.

I wrapped mine around to give the plant a fuller look. Then as time goes on I let it hang
