I’m moving to a new house and I want to bring my 8 years old pothos with me.
I managed to untangle all the branches and I realised that only the top part of each (some very long) branch has leafs.
My plan is to cut out the leafy parts, root them in water and plant them again, together with the leaf-less parts hoping they’ll re-sprout.
I’m aiming to get a shorter but denser plant.
3rd pic is what I’m hoping for. Is this a good idea?

I do not have any experience with vines this long.
I just wanted to say it’s crazy how long these guys can get! Fascinating.
YEP! Your plan sounds great 👌🏼 When are you moving?! My only hesitation – these are pretty drastic changes – trimming it all up right before moving to a completely new environment & expecting it to adjust and thrive (while in shock from the pruning), is up in the air.
Trim vines with no leaf growth, propagate clippings into water, plant back into pot when roots are 3+ inches
