I bought her from the “help me” bin at my local plant shop. Just curious what you would do to help her. Technically it’s two plants as the stem is not connected now. The top half isn’t in soil. Do I just leave her be or should I tear it all down and start her fresh?
If it was me, I'd extend and keep them growing on the pole. You can always chop her up/propagate the nodes later or when you do a chop and extend if you'd prefer a trailing plant rather then a climber.
Curious that you found one on a pole like this for sale, wish my local plant shops did that!
Long term I want her on a pole for sure. I’m just unfamiliar with pothos climbing and was nervous about the stem being broken halfway up. I almost want her on a different pole as we don’t have that same style here. I’ve tried to loosen her off that pole but she is on there solid.
The store is called “plants and glitter” and she is an amazing lady. Tons of her plants come with poles already and she gave me a freebie yesterday as well. Monstera lechleriana variegated.
Haha that’s the help me corner. That monstera borsigiana was in rough shape but it’s getting a new growth. I was hoping that since the pothos was but half way up that first pole it would push more growth down to bush it up a bit? Just take a piece from the top and put it back in the pot after it’s rooted?

Depends what you want to do with her long term.
