Pothos 'Marble Queen'
This Pothos is a variegated version with more white than green. It is easy-going, perfect for beginners. You can grow it in a hanging basket, let it climb or even grow horizontally along a tabletop or mantle. This plant will tolerate any light condition, though it's preference is moist soil and medium to high light spots. It even forgives for the occasional missed watering! No need to fertilize very often, maybe twice per year.
Light: Marble Queen Pothos thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may lose some of its variegation. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Water your Marble Queen Pothos when the top inch of the soil feels dry. It's better to underwater than overwater, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Ensure that the pot has good drainage.
Humidity: Marble Queen Pothos can tolerate average household humidity, but it appreciates higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing a tray of water near the plant. A humidifier can also be beneficial.
Temperature: This plant prefers average room temperatures between 60-85°F (16-29°C). Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.
Fertilizer: Feed your Marble Queen Pothos with a balanced houseplant fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer to half strength and follow the package instructions.
Pruning: Prune your plant to control its size and shape. Regularly trim any yellow or dead leaves, as well as excessive growth. Pruning helps to promote bushier growth and maintain a fuller appearance.
Support: Marble Queen Pothos is a trailing plant that can be trained to climb or allowed to cascade. You can provide a moss pole, trellis, or let it hang from a hanging basket.
Repotting: Repot your Marble Queen Pothos every 1-2 years, preferably in the spring. Use a well-draining potting mix and choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
Remember, these are general guidelines, and individual care needs may vary. Observe your plant regularly, adjust watering according to its specific needs, and enjoy watching it thrive!
