pothos actually dont mind tight roots , what is the effect you are after ? fuller plant? the vine effect all of the above?

The roots are how you would know when to upsize your pot. If they take up 50-75% of the pot, go up 1-2inches in pot size. If not, it looks pretty happy, just leave her be

Keep trimming the vines and it will fill in nicely, then let the vines grow.

Pothos like smaller pots. If you separate or put her in a bigger pot, she will spend all her energy to grow more roots and you won’t get any new length or leaves.
This girl is super long, but I just put her in a bigger pot, and I’m propagating some of her clippings to make her look fuller. She was in a 7 inch pot and she’s 5 feet long. She would have been happy in that pot for a while still, but she’s still tiny compared to to my other pothos plants.

I’m going to go the other route than our pothos partners in thread and say, yes. Only because it looks like you definitely have 2, if not 3 different varieties here, including monstera and I personally wouldn’t want anyone’s beautiful root system choking anybody else out. A role in my house is no eating our brothers and sisters. Whether it be dogs, cats, snakes, rats, plants, etc, and I’d be worried about that real soon.
But she’s happy and beautiful and well taken care of. Like any other living thing, you do what you feel is right. And great job!!!👏🏽

Pothos, you can do whatever you want!

I would do both. It looks like you have four different plants in there? Golden pothos, pearls n jade or njoy pothos, monstera adansonii & philodendron Florida. All of them root fast and will need their own space. That pot will become too small to keep them all happy way quicker than you think it will
