Diana, I have a Golden Pothos and Marbled Pothos in hanging baskets hanging on hooks in an east facing kitchen window. They are about a foot or so from the window. The window is actually 3 windows: 2 narrow and one large, wider one in the center like a bay window. They receive direct sunlight for several hours a day, first from the east as the sun rises, and then more direct sun as it moves southeast. So, they get about 4-5 hours of decent direct sun...well, at least the leaves hanging down do. The leaves on top of the hanging basket are lucky if they receive 30 minutes of direct sun; however they are receiving many hours of light from the fluorescent ceiling light a few feet away. The Golden Pothos has grown tremendously in just 1 month. Here are 2 pics of my Golden Pothos...the 1st pic was taken Jan 7, 2014 and the 2nd pic was taken today February 6, 2014.
