Snapped these real quick. This is the pothos I just started the other day. It's still really small now, but in a few months it should be climbing and getting quite large like my others. This is the tallest trellis I've tried yet, so I am looking forward to seeing just how big the leaves get.

Lighting depends on where they are. I have found the pothos that get good indirect sunlight grow the best. Those I've tried to grow in northern rooms without much sun don't do as well - they'll grow, but the vines tend to reach and don't really climb for me. The pothos I've grown in southern windows will get quite large - even if a open trellis is used. Further below is a photo of my old photos on the open trellis, before the trellis failed. It was a beauty.

First photo shows the 4" x1" trellis. The rough surface will make it easy to climb - unlike most treated and sanded wood. The flat surface will be better than the skinny legs of most open trellises too. I could probably start another cutting on the back of the trellis.
