please be gentle with me….fairly new plant mommy here. is it ok or “normal” for a pothos to grow straight up like this? I was expecting more trailing. I mean I’m not upset with its current structure, just curious if this is just how they groove sometimes. Thanks for your gentle feedback.

Yes. They grow vines if not chopped and propped or planted into the soil. I’ve heard of others pinning the vines to the soil around the pot to root.
Very healthy plant.
it’s just “straight up” cause it’s very healthy!
it IS a trailing plant, or a climber given a trellis, but it will start to hang and drape down the more it grows!
i tend to get the already trailing ones if that’s the look i’m going for, but they grow very quickly!
get some foliage fertilizer and introduce it to your watering routine, happy planting!!🪴✨💗
You have a very happy, healthy plant.

Mine was like that until recently. Now it’s got a trailing vibe that’s stretching out.
those are just newer sprouts that haven’t had enough time to create that lengthy vine yet, they grow up trees in nature so if you’d want to triple the leaf size you could grow a cutting up a pole!
Looks great, whatever you’re doing keep it up!

I wrapped the vines around the inside of the pot until it was as full as I wanted it, I cut off the ends of the main 2 vines yesterday so she will focus on more growth in the middle.
She sure is pretty. I’m sure you got your answer, but i just had to say she’s stunning, happy and healthy. I just got a marble/snow queen and I’m obsessed, I want all the variations! Lol 🤭
