It’s because those kind of poles don’t stay moist enough for the plant to actually attach itself, the leaves only get larger if it’s attached itself.
It’s not getting enough light & if it was repotted it’s putting it’s energy into more roots also. They size up pretty quickly when they have a snug pot, not rootbound, just snug.
It’s not getting enough light. This is,the third leaf on this cutting:

I noticed in winter mine pushes out smaller leaves with fewer fenestrations. They bounce back in spring though.
Also, since you’re using a coco coir pole, try to make the roots go into the soil when they’re long enough.
