Had my pothos hanging in a window with a curtain that was very thin so I'm sure it got too much sun as I live in southern az and it was in a South facing window. I also know it was in a pot too small for it and have now repotted it. Is there anything else I can do? I'm worried I might lose it :cry:

Not to worry--pothos are tough plants and recover from minor setbacks rather quickly. Just keep it moist but not soggy, move it to where there is less direct sunlight, and do not fertilize. The plant has enough to contend with and doesn't need to have something encouraging new growth for a while.

Agree with marlingardener with one caveat!

I've had pothos for years, and indeed they are hard to kill. But I've always let mine get pretty dry, to the point of being crispy at times, between watering. Even if they start wilting, it's not a big deal, just a sign they need a good watering. :)

When I had lots of houseplants, I put them in the bathtub about once a month, turned on the shower and gave them a good soaking and while I was at it, removed dead leaves and such. They seemed to enjoy that!

Also a good dose of fertilizer once or twice during spring and early summer.
