Q: How much light does a Marble Queen Pothos need?

The Marble Queen Pothos needs medium light conditions. Needs bright indirect light to maintain its white variegation -- more light than Golden Pothos. Insufficient light causes new leaves to emerge mostly green as the plant compensates for reduced photosynthetic capacity. Avoid direct sun, which scorches the white leaf areas. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry; the high variegation makes it less drought-tolerant than other Pothos. Grows more slowly, so fertilize monthly at half strength during the growing season. Prune any fully green reverted shoots to maintain the variegated appearance. Propagate by stem cuttings in water, ensuring each cutting has a node.

About the Marble Queen Pothos

Marble Queen Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Queen') is a cultivar of the species native to French Polynesia, selected for its dramatic white and green marbled variegation. Each heart-shaped leaf is heavily splashed and streaked with creamy white, with some leaves appearing almost entirely white. The degree of variegation varies from leaf to leaf, creating an ever-changing display along the trailing vines. Because of its high proportion of white (non-photosynthesizing) tissue, Marble Queen grows more slowly than its Golden Pothos parent. Its elegant, icy coloring brings a sophisticated, bright accent to indoor plant collections.

Origin: Southeast Asia
