I’d say personal preference. If you like how it looks and it seems healthy, grow baby grow! If you want to rein it in a bit, shape it up and propagate some nice gifts for friends!

### Kashira commented on 2025-05-27

I would trim it up and propagate!

### PlantsForMySoul commented on 2025-05-27

I love it as is!

### Yolanda commented on 2025-05-27

Leave it if it’s healthy.. just my thought

I would trim and propagate as well, then opt for a diy moss pole with mesh wire so she can keep climbing
