I've been told this is hung to far up & needs more sun? I just got it yesterday & I'm new to Pothos. This window gives a huge amount of light off around pretty much. Thoughts?
Should be fine. Mine is like 2-3m from a south facing window and will give me like 1-2 new leaves every week in summer. If yours doesn’t grow well or gets leggy you can still try to put it closer to the window

It has plenty of sun for life, I have many of these thriving in far darker areas.

If you just got it yesterday, just wait and see. I’m sure it’s enough light for it to live healthily. Pothos can live just fine under a wide variety of light situations; however, its appearance will change depending on how much light it gets, so “enough” light depends partly on how you want it to look. The more light it gets, the more golden coloring the leaves will develop. So if it’s pretty solid green and you would like to see more gold, increase the light. It’s possible that you could increase in that same spot by getting a macrame or similar hanger, or even just adding a length of chain, to drop the plant down lower in the window.
