Marble queen or jessenia?

Hey guys what do you think this is- I purchased thinking it was a marble queen a few months back but it's either reverting for some strange reason (it gets bright indirect light) or it was labeled wrong? One leaf looks like a jessenia 4 look marble - the others idk lol maybe I should just trim them back and see? Or just leave it alone to grow how she wants

I’m new to plants, but I heard if they don’t have plenty of light, variegated plants tend to revert
Slowly start giving her a little more light. You can add a grow light if need be. She'll start giving you the marble look again with more light.

It is a Marble Queen Pothos…
Very beautiful plant you bought! I like it!
The marble pothos is a fast growing indoors tropical houseplant that responds to pruning. Trimming long stems in early spring helps to promote bushy growth and plant legginess. However you can trim off dead, discolored, or damaged leaves at any time of year. Here is an article on pruning your plant. I hope this helps! Good Luck!

@DanielOasis thank you Daniel- I think it might be reverting! @AwesomePlants thanks awesome I’ll move her under a grow light and see what happens! @L06flower thanks for the article! I think I’ll leave it be for now and trim in the spring 🌱

Your welcome! Sounds like a good plan! Good Luck!
@Vjunc it definitely is a Marble Queen Potho.

Basic Marble Pothos care is a no-brainer for beginners mainly because it can survive in pretty much any light condition. However, given its tropical nature it grows faster in medium to bright indirect light.

Just remember that you get better results with the variegation if you grow Marble Pothos in brighter light. They don’t do well in direct sunlight as the sun burns the foliage.

Low light tolerance makes them suitable as ornamentals in offices and low-lit rooms like a bathroom. Just keep an eye out for the variegation.

Only the green parts of the leaves can make energy for the plant, so in low light the leaves will compensate for the lack of light by turning green.
