I've had my pothos for about four months now and it's finally putting out new growth after a slow start

I've had my pothos for about four months now and it's finally putting out new growth after a slow start. I kept it in pretty low light at first, which I think was the problem. Moving it closer to an east-facing window made a huge difference. Has anyone else noticed their Epipremnum aureum perks up with more indirect light? I'm still figuring out the watering schedule—I tend to let the soil dry out completely before watering, but I'm wondering if that's actually the best approach.
