It appears to be the same plant but the lower/middle leave are climbing up the tree, and they are huge and fenestrated. The upper leaves have fallen off of the trailing vines, then they are small on the lower parts of the trailing vines. I guess moss poles do make a big difference! This is in Costa Rica.

Amazing!!
Thanks for sharing these great pics!! Yes, the engagement of the aerial roots is what triggers the hormonal change to the adult form in pothos and as this pic *perfectly* shows, will revert back to its juvenile stage once it’s no longer climbing. Very cool!
WoW! That is Gorgeous. The Giant pothos is called Hawaiian Gold Queen Pothos. Extraordinary! Their leaves can grow over 3 ft long and over 1 ft wide!!
its even fenestrating, absolutely *gorgeous*
Wow. This is incredible. First time seeing giant pothos. I never knew that I’ve been growing juvenile pothos all this time? I have some that look just like the trailing vines. So this is why they produce so many nodes… trying to attach. Fascinating. And now I’m reading on fenestration. I’ve learned so much from this post.
I am a bit concerned for the tree though. Is it possible for the pothos to keep the trees leaves from getting sunlight or somehow harm the tree?
Wow this is so cool, thank you for sharing!
