Creating a trailing philodendron scandens

Question

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to get a really long trailing philodendron scandens but all I can find are those supported by moss poles or wire frames.

I don’t have much hope separating them from a moss pole but I wondered if it was possible to uncouple them (or just cut the wire piece by piece) from a wire frame to create a long trailing plant?

Appreciate any advice!

Thanks

You can do this as long as you do not damage any portion of the plant while doing so. I do recommend leaving it to climb, but it would, certainly, survive trailing.
