Marble Queen Pothos Plant Care

Marble Queen Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Queen') belongs to the Araceae family within the Pothos genus. Marble Queen Pothos is native to French Polynesia.

Marble Queen Pothos displays an upright, hanging growth habit, reaching up to 40 ft tall with a spread of approximately 6 ft. Marble Queen Pothos produces flowers rarely.

Leaf size: approximately 4 inches.

Water a young or newly planted Marble Queen Pothos every 7–14 days, soaking the whole root zone, until it is established — usually one to two growing seasons. Established trees mainly need water during long dry spells. In a container, water whenever the top few centimetres of soil are dry.

Marble Queen Pothos thrives in bright indirect light. Avoid placing Marble Queen Pothos in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch the foliage.

Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Queen' tolerates temperatures of 65–90°F. Marble Queen Pothos prefers humidity levels of 40–30%.

Well-draining potting mix with perlite and peat moss. Good drainage is essential for Marble Queen Pothos to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Choose a spot with bright indirect light and well-draining potting mix with perlite and peat moss. Avoid low spots where water collects after rain.

Marble Queen Pothos is suited to USDA Zone 10b – 12b.

Plant container-grown or balled-and-burlapped trees in spring or early autumn, setting the root flare at soil level, and water well after planting.

Marble Queen Pothos can spread to about 6 ft (1.8 m) and reach about 40 ft (12 m) tall. Space plants about 6 ft (1.8 m) apart so mature crowns don't crowd each other, and plant at least half that distance from buildings, fences and paths.

Prune Marble Queen Pothos while it is dormant in late winter: first remove dead, damaged and crossing branches, then thin lightly for shape.

If it flowers in spring, prune right after flowering instead so you don't remove next year's buds. Never take off more than about a quarter of the tree in one year.

Marble Queen Pothos is frost-tender (hardy to USDA zone 10). In colder areas grow it in a container and move it to a bright, frost-free place before the first frost.

Marble Queen Pothos can be propagated through stem cuttings. Similar propagation techniques also apply to pothos brassii plant care, which shares the same genus.
