As indoor plants, specimens 30 feet long are common, though most are kept much shorter. These plants can get leggy left unpruned. If allowed to dry out, the stems may become bare to the base, leaving leaves only on new growth. If you choose to let your pothos grow into a long vine, it can be secured on hooks along walls and over window frames. Vines left to grow on their own can get very tangled, so shake them loose every now and then to keep them from becoming a mess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"comp mntl-block\" id=\"mntl-block_8-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"comp native-placeholder mntl-block\" id=\"native-placeholder_2-0\"\u003eWhile normally grown as a houseplant, pothos can serve as a perennial outdoor plant in USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11.\u003cspan data-id=\"#citation-2\" class=\"mntl-inline-citation mntl-dynamic-tooltip--trigger\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e In other zones, they can be used in containers and borders in the summer.
