I have this pothos from my aunts funeral from 2 years ago (she was just a little hanging pot then!) But I was at the time addicted to pole growing content so I tried it out using a 5 ft pole and as you can see she is in dire beed for a fix. For the time being I have just added a 3.5 ft scewer but it almost above even that. I dont want to break the aireal roots that have rooted into the original post. How should I a. fix the lean, and b. get the roots off the wood pole?

I would rip and chop and prop but I’m a sadist
I have mine on a trellis instead of a moss pole so I can snake it around as much as possible. That would at least buy you some more time
Well, considering this isn’t really pole growing, it’s just attached to a stake artificially and only has support roots growing *on* it with no aerial roots growing *in* it, you can safely pull them off gently or with a razor and it won’t change the plant at all 🤗 this would be a *way* bigger challenge if it was climbing already, the anatomy of those roots are impossible to remove and you lose the adult leaf morphology
Since the plant isn’t rooted into the pole but just artificially attached, I would unfasten it from the pole and secure it more compactly, so it has less height.
Your ceiling looks 7’11.5”
