Marble Queen pothos: bright variegation and compact growth
Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Queen'. A high proportion of pale tissue slows growth, so this cultivar needs more light than green pothos.
Watering
Water after partial drying and empty the outer pot.
Soil
An airy, free-draining tropical-climber mix.
More useful detail
Care over time
Rhythm through the year
Growth is much faster in brighter months. In winter, allow longer drying.
Growth and training
Pruning above a node encourages fullness; a support helps leaves size up.
Plant
A simple care routine for Marble Queen pothos
- 1
Check light and moisture deeper in the pot.
- 2
Let light reach the top of the pot and do not water more simply because growth is slow.
- 3
Track successive leaves and the pace of growth.
Observation
Changes worth checking
- Successive leaves becoming greener
- Cream areas turning brown
- Yellowing above constantly wet mix
Important
The plant contains irritating calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from children and pets, and wear gloves when pruning.
