The ‘Marble Queen’ pothos (Epipremnum aureum ‘Marble Queen’) is a highly sought-after houseplant, prized for its striking variegated jade green and cream-colored leaves. This beautiful pothos variety features long, trailing vines, making it ideal for hanging baskets or as a lush, bushy potted plant with proper pruning. Whether you're an experienced gardener or a beginner, the ‘Marble Queen’ pothos is one of the easiest indoor plants to grow and care for.
How to Care for Marble Queen Pothos
The ‘Marble Queen’ pothos, also known as Devil’s Ivy, thrives in bright, indirect light and requires well-draining soil to flourish. To ensure healthy growth, keep the plant in temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C – 23°C) with high humidity and slightly moist soil. During the growing season, fertilize monthly for optimal results.
This tropical plant originates from Southeast Asia and Australia, but it adapts well to indoor environments, making it a perfect addition to any home. With its attractive heart-shaped glossy leaves, the Marble Queen adds a touch of greenery and elegance to your living space.
Features of Pothos Plants
All pothos plant varieties, including the ‘Marble Queen’, are known for their leathery, heart-shaped leaves and robust growth. Other common pothos types include the jade pothos with its deep green leaves, the golden pothos featuring yellow and green variegation, and the neon pothos with its vibrant electric green foliage.
While ‘Marble Queen’ pothos and Philodendrons may appear similar due to their heart-shaped leaves, they are distinct species. It's rare for either plant to flower indoors, but their foliage is the real showstopper.
Light Requirements for Marble Queen Pothos
To maintain the bright, variegated foliage of the ‘Marble Queen’ pothos, ensure it receives plenty of indirect sunlight. The best spot for your plant is near an east-facing window, where it will be exposed to filtered light. If you place it on a windowsill, protect the plant from direct sunlight with a sheer curtain, as excessive sun exposure can scorch the leaves and reduce their vibrant green color.
These same light conditions apply to other variegated pothos varieties, such as the ‘Snow Queen’ and ‘Golden Queen’. However, darker-leaved pothos types can tolerate low-light environments, making them versatile for different indoor spaces.
