So I don’t know how to tag my last post. I was trying to fix this tall boy and give it a good moss pole you guys suggested I should air layer it for faster process I only did in two places,ugh but it worked really well. But now my top cutting which was my desired selection,but the leaves are not showing up what to do? Will the middle cutting work out?

Once the top out grow or detach from the moss pole the plant reverts back quickly to vining mode and some time don’t even push out new leaves.
What I would suggest is to detach the whole plant from the moss pole (even if you need to damage some root), and wrap the vines around the base of the moss pole, and secure the topmost growth onto the moss pole with wrap or Velcro so it would have the support of rest of the plant to grow up quickly.
The plant really needs to root into the moss pole for it to size up consistently. Air layering won’t get you there from my experience. Your mosspole also looks extremely thin and won’t hold much moisture, I would also suggest you to make a thicker one to get the results.
You want to vertical grow it right?
It will show leaves it’s been 22 days give it time, root mode and leaf mode are not necessarily simultaneous, once the cutting develops a good enough root system it will shoot leaves
