Marble queen pothos care

Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Queen' (in Thirsty: Epipremnum aureum ‘Marble Queen’)

Thirsty’s starting schedule for Marble queen pothos: about every 7 days. Check the soil and adjust it to your home.

Watering

Let the soil dry between waterings, then water thoroughly; overwatering can cause root rot. [1][2][3]

Light

Bright, indirect light. 'Marble Queen' needs more light than other pothos, and lower light can make it lose some of its variegation. It doesn't tolerate much direct sun. [1][3]

Humidity

Prefers 50 to 70% humidity but tolerates normal home levels; a humidifier or pebble tray helps. [1][2]

Soil and potting

An airy, well-draining potting mix. [1][2][3]

Pets

Toxic to cats and dogs; it contains calcium oxalate crystals. [4]
