Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Queen'

Marble Queen Pothos, scientifically known as Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Queen', is a popular houseplant recognized for its striking white and cream variegation on heart-shaped leaves. This variety of pothos is easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Key Characteristics:

• Growth Habit: Marble Queen Pothos can grow up to 10 feet long and 3 feet wide, often trailing or climbing if provided with support.
• Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. However, insufficient light may cause the variegation to revert to solid green.
• Watering: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry. Typically, it requires watering every 1-2 weeks, depending on light exposure and humidity levels.
• Soil: Thrives in a well-draining potting mix; a combination of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well.
• Temperature and Humidity: Enjoys average household temperatures (65°F to 85°F) and moderate humidity. It is sensitive to cold drafts and should be protected from temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

Care Tips:

• Fertilization: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer to promote healthy growth.
• Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings, which can be rooted in water or directly in soil.
• Common Issues: Watch for pests like spider mites and mealybugs. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage.

Marble Queen Pothos not only enhances indoor spaces with its beauty but also contributes to air purification, making it a valuable addition to any home.
