What is the best way to help this plant vine grow and when I bring it

I don't know the name of the plant.
It looks like an ivy. I have one in a pot outside. I keep it in the shade because I live in Texas and the sun would bake it. Our winters are usually mild, so I leave it outside. If the temp drops to freezing or below I will cover it or bring it inside. Hope this helps.
Not sure what it is - could be pathos. Anyway, just take nice care of the baby and you'll see what it needs as it grows. Trust yourself!
Pothos: doesn't even need soil...stick a cutting in water...just stems under water...the leaves above the water...u can transfer to potting soil when roots r thick enough to support the cutting...or leave them in the water...but keep the water clean... either way never let them dry out...maybe a tiny bit of miracle grow every 2 or 3 months ...loves indirect light but the leaves will always reach towards the sunshine... So if you want leggy/vine type plant u would put it farther away from the sunshine n add something for it to climb on...in the sunshine for a thick luscious, full leafed beauty...but never outside ... Does not like the cold n too hard to keep it damp...grows beautifully inside n easy to snip off a few inches or even feet for cuttings to establish new pothos...a really fast grower so u will be turning the pot/vase often to distribute the light evenly
The pot that's shown in the photo is way too big. Put it either in small cup or bottle until a chunk of roots grow or a smaller cutting size pot.
A large pot will make the plant try too hard to fill with roots neglecting to grow topside; leaves. Good luck! ✌
