My pothos is getting close to the floor and is starting a new vine! Is it too late to swap it to something to climb on? If not, whats the best thing to let it climb on? I'd love for it to be able to fill out and grow larger leaves now that I have the room for it.

Never too late! You could always wrap the current vines around a trellis but if you’re going for that big tropical leaf look, your best bet is probably chopping and propping. Your mother plant will continue to push out new growth from where it was cut, and you can attatch that incoming growth to a pole to encourage those new leaves to climb!
Nope right on time. These nodes will latch on to almost anything at any stage in its life lol
I would chop and prop most of the vine, make yourself a bunch of new plants. Then you can repot the original with a moss pole (not a coco coir pole) for it to grow up an big. Trying to attach the vine to a pole won’t do anything with those leaves so might as well start over. Propogating is super easy, just let the cut ends dry for an hour or so and plop them in water, making sure a node is in the water. Then wait.
Check out Sydney Plant Guy if you do want to do a moss pole.
