Found a Pothos outside and took it in! New to these plants and was wondering if this would be enough light? Any tips for watering would be useful! I’m currently using this clay water spike but I read somewhere I should mist?

Looks like an Marble Queen Pothos. Pothos can grow in any facing window so yes, it’s enough light. Note that south facing windows tend to burn leaves if too close to window. They like to be moist and not wet. Only water once the top (1-2 inch) soil is dry. Misting is optional imo, inspect the soil and leaves for pests/eggs. I use a 10-1-1 mixture of water,neem oil and peppermint castile soap to clean the leaves. It keeps pests away and keeps your leaves looking beautiful at the same time.
No misting. It can create fungus.
I’ll disagree with the other comment. Pothos like to dry out, they don’t like to be moist, definitely not wet.
Your pothos will start drooping if you let it get too dry.
I dont trust those worms. Get an actual water meter or use a wooden dowel.
Don’t water on a schedule, water when the soil is dry.
Don’t let it get too dry or you can get root rot, let it stay too wet, you get root rot.
Have you checked the roots? Assessed for bugs?
Do not mist, they do not like that. Take the watering thing out, they do not want to stay moist and it’s best to let them dry out in between waterings. Every 10-14 days for water is typical. Also put it in front of the window, it needs more sunlight.
Does that pot have drainage? If not, put it in a pot with drainage so you can water it properly
