Looks good to me.

That’s a coconut coir pole. Unless you live in a high humidity area, your pothos won’t root inside the pole. They look good just as a structure. But the coconut coir is really hydrophobic, no humidity inside unless the environment is moist enough (like those environments where the pothos root to the walls).  
Also I put my poles when repotting so they can go deep enough and stay more sturdy.

For a reference, the moss poles are the meshed monstrosities filled with sphagnum moss. They look ugly but are the ones that guarantee you roots and large leaves in dry environments.

Do you have an Amazon link?

For the moss poles? I’m using these ones now. You fold them yourself and then stuff it with damp sphagnum moss. I have another one with another “self watering” model that came with a plant from a friend. That’s more expensive and not a lot of benefit that I see.

All my other moss pole plants are at a friend’s who has a green house.

Oh sorry. The brand is called Leeky. You get 6 for like 12 USD.  
Many people build their own moss poles

Interesting I didn’t know the difference in moss poles, but it makes sense to me now I’m thinking of getting one for my self watering monstera. I appreciate your advice ❤️❤️😁

This is how I use the coconut coir pole. Lovely, but I need the clips to hold it there. If I try to get that coconut coir moist, I end up watering the plant every single day. I just accepted my faith. It is a decorative item

Thank you for the reference!

I did not know about these moss poles, and that Plants root into them. How clever. I really just thought they were something for the plant to climb.
