About Pothos 'Marble Queen'

Pothos Marble Queen Care Guide

The Pothos 'Marble Queen' (Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Queen') is a striking vining houseplant, celebrated for its heart-shaped leaves marbled with creamy white and green. A favorite among both new and seasoned plant parents, this resilient tropical beauty is perfect for brightening shelves, bookcases, or hanging baskets.

Lighting

Pothos 'Marble Queen' thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its variegated patterns. It can tolerate lower light but may develop more green and less cream in its leaves under these conditions. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate foliage.

Watering

Water your Pothos 'Marble Queen' when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. This plant is drought-tolerant but appreciates regular watering during the growing season. Always ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot, and reduce watering in the cooler months when growth naturally slows.

Temperature and Humidity

Pothos 'Marble Queen' prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F and will thrive in average household humidity. For extra lush growth, occasional misting or placement near a humidifier can be beneficial but isn’t required.

Feeding

Feed your Pothos 'Marble Queen' with a balanced, liquid houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer. In fall and winter, you can reduce or pause feeding as the plant’s growth slows.

Care Tips

  • Use a well-draining potting mix with components like peat moss and perlite to keep the roots healthy and happy.
  • Trim leggy vines to encourage fuller, bushier growth and propagate cuttings easily in water or soil.
  • Wipe the leaves gently to remove dust and allow maximum light absorption.

The Pothos 'Marble Queen' is a versatile, low-maintenance houseplant that adds timeless charm to any room. Whether trailing from a shelf or climbing up a moss pole, its variegated foliage is sure to impress.
