The pothos I never really liked is becoming the star of the show

I'm refering to the one climbing the walls. It was growing all over and I didn't know what to do with it. I then just stared hanging it to the wall with cable nails. I never really thought of pothos as a climbing plant but it actually does stick to the wall once something holds it there for a bit first. Now it gets so much light that it's growing like crazy. Not sure whether to do a full loop or turn back once I reach the lower right corner.

I started training mine around the room about 2 years ago. Now its about 12' in two directions, over doors and bookcases. I'm scared to take it down for a repotting its taken over the room

That looks great. Yes pothos doesn't "grip" but will definitely climb if given an easy way. I've seen people letting them spread and hang across shelves in several houses. But the best one I ever saw was this lady who lived in an old run down place and had no shower curtain. She let the pothos grow and hang along the curtain rail, and the plant was massive. I don't think I would have wanted to renovate that shower for as long as that plant lived, amazing how it worked out just right.

I have a philodendron that I've basically just been weaving back into itself. It's basically a mat now hanging off the side of my kitchen cabinet

That might be the original pot.. ..and soil. Maybe I should repot it.

Had a pothos that grew all the way around two rooms of my old house twice over the course of about 9 years, was amazing. We mostly preserved it when we moved, too

I’m always afraid to repot
