Question 1

Is it better for pothos to hang or climb?

Accepted Answer

Letting pothos climb with proper training boosts leaves size and shows a clear difference, while trailing offers a softer look. Both keep the plant healthy, so choose climbing or trailing based on space and style—either way, climbing or trailing works well.

Question 2

Is it ok for pothos to hang?

Accepted Answer

Letting pothos hang is fine and softens the looks of a room. Using clips on a wall helps train it to climb, producing larger leaves that grow closer. Left hanging, leaves stay smaller and more spaced. Both climb and hang styles suit different spaces.

Question 3

How to hang pothos indoors?

Accepted Answer

To hang a pothos, use simple methods like wall-mounted trellises, hooks, or string to support its trailing vines. Even tape works for light stems. You can drape it from a shelf or place it in a hanging basket. The key is a system that lets it grow freely, provides structure, and allows vines to elongate.

Question 4

How do you take care of hanging pothos?

Accepted Answer

Keep hanging pothos in bright, indirect light, use well-draining soil, and ensure consistent watering that lets it dry slightly between waterings. They prefer moderate to high humidity, need occasional fertilization in the growing season, and benefit from pruning to encourage bushier growth, and control vine length.

Question 5

Is pothos a good hanging plant?

Accepted Answer

Pothos is a great trailing plant for a hanging setup. My Golden Pothos, still in its grow pot inside a ceramic pot, sits on a bookcase with vines that trails to the floor. My Neon Pothos thrives on a floating corner shelf near a ZZ Plant. A basket also works well for displaying pothos.
