About Epipremnum Aureum 'Marble Queen'

Origin

Native to the tropical island of Mo'orea in French Polynesia, though this heavily marbled beauty was cultivated specifically for plant lovers!

Air Purifying

This royalty-worthy amigo is an air-purifying superstar, working extra hard to filter out indoor toxins like formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene while pumping out clean oxygen. 

Toxicity

Toxic to cats, dogs, and humans due to insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Eating the leaves can cause mouth irritation, drooling, and swallowing trouble, so hang this regal, trailing amigo up high away from curious paws!

Caring for a Marble Queen Pothos

Watering

Water when the top 50% of the soil has dried out. These amigos are pretty forgiving if you miss a watering, but because of their high white variegation, they hate soggy roots—let them dry out nicely between drinks! 

Light and Placement

Thrives best in bright, indirect light! Because of her high level of creamy white variegation, this queen needs plenty of bright, filtered light to keep those gorgeous marbling patterns popping without reverting to solid green. Keep her out of harsh direct sun to avoid leaf burn.

Nutrition

Treat her to a half-strength liquid houseplant fertilizer once a month during spring and summer to support all that vibrant growth. Hold off on feeding during fall and winter.

Repotting

Repot every 1–2 years in spring when you see roots peeking out of the bottom or growth stalling out. Move up just 1–2 inches in pot size using a well-draining, airy potting mix with perlite. 

Pruning and Flowering

Blooms (both indoor and outdoor) are practically non-existent, but her climbing or cascading foliage is the main attraction anyway! Prune long, leggy vines anytime right above a leaf node to encourage a bushier top, and pop those cuttings in water to grow new baby plants!

Marble Queen Pothos SOS

Illness

Super resilient and beginner-friendly! Overwatering and poor drainage are her main enemies, which can cause root rot or yellow leaves. Keep an eye out for occasional uninvited pests like mealybugs or spider mites.
