Since the 5 months I have propagated my pothos, it is doing very well in direct sunlight. I have tried my best to make it climb to the railings but all in vain. I'm a novice. I want it to climb. Can you please help?
You will need to help the Pothos attach itself to the railings or trellis.
I would purchase plant twisting wire from a garden center. You can cut the wire to small pieces to attach the vines unto the rails.
I have several golden pothos and one of them is losing their leaves very rapidly. Why?
This is commonly caused by over watering. When you go to water, feel the top inch or so of the soil. If it is dry, water the plant, if it is not, do not water the plant. This will ensure you are watering to the plant's needs. If you feel that you have not been over watering your plant and would like additional reasons as to why it may be turning yellow, this article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/plant-leaves-turn-yellow.htm
I am considering getting a pothos. However, we take a lot of trips and are often gone for one month. Is it possible to leave this plant without water for a month? Thank you
A Pothos is quite easy to grow and actually prefers a drier soil. You could most likely water the plant before you leave and it would be fine for a few weeks at a time.
A month may be a bit long to go for water.
Succulent plants may be a good option for you. A Jade plant can also go quite a bit of time in between watering.

Do I need to try to start several in a container to give away or is one enough?
It depends how big the container is and how fast you want them to fill out the container. Because pothos is a vine, one plant won't fill out a broad container very well, so planting a few is recommended. If you have a small container, one plant would be fine.
Are the roots to the pothos plant supposed to be close together or are they supposed to have lots of room? What is the best pot to plant this in?
Pothos is a very easy to grow plant that is forgiving of many growing conditions.
Choose a pot that comfortably fits the root system with an inch of so of new grow space around the root ball.
Do not go to large of a pot size as this can lead to overwatering.
Make sure the pot has a good drainage hole and use a good quality potting soil.

As long as you pothos looks good, there's no need to worry about whether the roots are crowded or spread out. I've seen root-bound pothos doing just as well as those with their roots spread out. Pothos is an extremely common and popular houseplant because it accepts growing in a wide variety of conditions.
I brought two very small pothos home. The person who gave this to me said that the size of the leaves has never really grown too much. It has been staying in this shape for the past ten years. I am wondering if I can propagate small ones like these and make it become more bushier eventually. I know I'll need to cut them to propagate them, but I'm just not sure where to cut. I am afraid I would end up killing them by cutting a wrong place because I have only these two. Please let me know what to do if anyone knows. Thanks! *I'm not planning to use soil. I am going to grow them in water.
We have a great article that will help you with this project.

I moved my Pothos from my kitchen island to my extra bathroom for a small period of time...1 week maybe and when I moved it back, it has little circle holes on some of the leaves. I can't see any sign of bug or fungus. Do you have any suggestions of what this is and how to stop it?
Make sure you are not over watering your plant. Pothos soil can be on the dry side. Root Rot can cause spots and yellowing leaves.
