About Marble Queen Pothos

This variety of pothos is known for its beautifully marbled leaves, which give rise to its name! Feng shui experts say placing pothos in sharp corners or angles in your home can reduce anxiety and stress. 😌

A NASA/ALCA study on the use of common plants for indoor air purification also labeled golden pothos—along with Philodendron and spider plants—as the most effective in removing formaldehyde from the air. 💨

My plant was beautiful, it was starting to trail and then I overwatered it and almost all of the leaves fell off. From overwatering her I went to the other extreme and under-watered her and she was nearly dying. I gave her a soak through shower placed her in front of the window and she came back to life. She is hanging on no new growth yet but I’m just glad she made it through my mess ups.

make sure you know where your going to put it because it gets really long .But it barely gets sunlight. Oh and make sure to trim off the brown parts of it so that it can live longer .

Pothos are just such rewarding plants. I’ve had to troubleshot a couple issues with this one - light was too low and it just looked sad - but that was easy to remedy. I was also underwatering at one point but again, easy to remedy. Pothos will give you a heads up when they need a little more (or less) care as long as you’re paying attention to its leaves. I have this plant on top of my bookshelf and it trails down beautifully. Every time I check, there’s a new leaf.

It’s toxic to humans and animals so be cautious.
This plant is very hardy and sort of difficult to kill so it’s a great plant for beginners.
Remember, it’s a climber so it goes better when it has some help climbing

So far she’s super easy to care for. We see new leaves weekly. We plant to put her in a macramé hanger by the window for even more light.

It’s a fairly hardy plant. Good for a first time plant owner, and if you’re getting plants to brighten up your room seeing how green it is will make you feel accomplished.
