I love the plant but it takes up too much floor space. I’ve heard that they don’t like being hung on the wall after being on the floor, and can die from the change. My only other idea is making 200 propagations, but I’m afraid of putting it into shock.

hang it
Chop n prop and have more around your home.
Give it the deed to your home.
Admire it!! But if you wanna prop, it will be fine. I used to have a 7-8 ft pothos and I would make giant cuttings all the time. Just make sure you section them well and don’t try and make the cuttings super long when you actually decide to prop them. Really long pieces take forever to prop and use a lot of energy. Or get a suuuupeer big trellis and make a statement piece.
Train it up the walls and down your halls?
I have pothos on my 2nd story loft that hangs over the balcony. I sometimes end up chopping 3-6 ft at a time. Your plant is really healthy looking so you can trim 1/3 off with no problem. Pothos are really tough plants. The only time I’ve had an issue is when I’ve tried to repot a plant with long hanging vines.
Ha looks like cousin It is in town. Adam’s family reference for those who don’t know.
Give me a couple pieces 🥹
Let it be🌿 let it be🌿
Use command hooks and “hang” some of the vibes on the wall and clip 1 or 2 vines as propagation vines.

Vacuum underneath it
A nice big wall-mounted trellis on the wall behind it and get the runners started on it. That’s what I would do 🙂. Beautiful plant💚
Stick it up on the wall with thumbtacks
Try put it in a taller bench (way taller), and then prune it if that’s not enough (and prop) so the floor is not taken over by this goddess 😩🪴✨💕
My first reaction is a gift waterfall. Small starter propagation pots that are affordable soil and size. Perfect Valentines treats or any holiday or birthday etc. I would be so happy to receive one. I’d also be jazzed to spread that wealth as the gift giver.
Beautiful! What size pot is that? I also have a gigantic pothos that I don’t know what to do with.
I’d say try suspending it from the ceiling if possible. But if you want to chop and prop, you could start them in water, transfer to some small plastic starter cups, then sell them on facebook marketplace or give away to friends/family.
A trellis could be super cool?
split them into smaller pots and hang them somewhere that will help make your space look good + if it’s too much, sell some and make good money
Do some experiences with it!
1. Chop some vines right after their most golden leaves to promote more golden leaves or do that with any funky cool coloration pattern you see on done vines
2. Chop half of it and propagate them and try different propagation methods to see what works the best like basic water propagation, water propagation with roots hormone, distilled water propagation, water propagation with water that was left in the counter for 24h to let the chlorine evaporated, water propagation with changing the water every day vs only when it seems to get dirty, propagation other only leca and water, propagation with different kind of substrate. You can bring that to another level, Like all those suggestions but with a different amount of direct/indirect light and/or temperature.
3. Split the rest in several of smaller pots and let one pot at this place and let it grow exactly the same way had you done with this actual pot, hang one next to a window and make the third one climb on a moss pole or branches like I did so it doesn’t grow like crazy like own a humid moss pole and play with the temperature, light and substrate parameters!
Damn I’m jealous, so much experimental potential! I would legit document in so much details the whole process and make a scientific report about it! 🤩
Here’s one of mine that I wish would grow faster!

This mix was a hanging pot, but I decided to make it climb so I can get huge fenestrated leaves in the next few years!
I’m curious, for how long this beauty has been growing without being chopped down and what is its growing condition (light, substrate, watering schedule)? Mine are doing great, I just chop them often, but I’m curious to know if you have anything in particular that I might not know of that would make a huge difference with mines. At best, my fully green vines would grow 6 feet in a year even if I neglected it at some point.
Legit, congratulations! It’s astonishing! 🤩🥰😍 Also, do you have other plants that are thriving intensely like your pothos?
