The stem on the right is a cutting I took from the left one. It's growing paler and smaller leaves. It sits on a windowsill in front of a huge north-facing (in the northern hemisphere) window and receives bright but non-direct light all day long. It's potted in well drained medium (coco coir + perlite mix) in a nursery pot with lots of draining holes. I only water it when the top layer of the soil is dry. I've tried fertilising it with no luck. For reference, it sits next to a Monstera adansonii and several varieties of Tradescantia and they're very happy. Could it be too much light for photos? TIA.

By paler leaves, do you mean the yellow variegation? That’s all I see
It needs something to climb on. The more they climb, the bigger the lewes
How big is this plant nursery pot?
In my opinion, theres never too much light for a pothos. You can see them growing just fine outside in the sun. And the paleness seems like its just from the variegation. Leaves getting smaller is kinda normal for a trailing plant, but thinking back to my pothos pnj, it kept the same size leaves all the way down and it was growing in front of a southwest window, getting about 10 hours of direct sunlight thru a window
My little propagated babies I just put in a pot look like this too. Ima just let them do their thing and not stress over it
Pothos in a bright window is not getting too much sun. The plant likely was originally grown in a darker area that pushed out greener leaves and now in brighter light is pushing out leaves with more variegation
