Product Overview
Pothos Marble Queen
Cultivated
Pothos Marble Queen is a refined trailing foliage plant admired for its creamy marbling, soft green undertones, and naturally cascading growth that brings a calm, collected feel to interior spaces. Its variegation reads bright and elegant—especially in warm, neutral rooms—making it an easy design-forward choice for shelves, counters, consoles, and hanging moments where the vine can spill naturally.
Native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia and widely cultivated around the world, pothos evolved as a climbing vine in warm, humid environments with filtered light. Indoors, Marble Queen performs beautifully when given bright indirect light, thoughtful watering, and stable temperatures—conditions that support healthy rooting, steady growth, and strong leaf patterning.
Selected for the Eden Tropicals Cultivated collection, Marble Queen offers a versatile silhouette that works across modern, Mediterranean, organic, and quietly luxurious interiors. It’s a plant that looks curated without feeling precious—elevated, forgiving, and consistently beautiful.
With proper care, Marble Queen develops longer, fuller vines and a more established presence over time. Its adaptable nature and timeless variegation make it an ideal choice for both new plant owners and experienced collectors seeking an effortlessly polished trailing plant.
Quick Care Snapshot
-
Light: Bright, indirect light for best variegation; tolerates medium and lower light (slower growth). Avoid harsh direct sun.
-
Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry. Do not keep constantly wet.
-
Humidity: Average home humidity is fine; appreciates 40–60%+.
-
Temperature: 65–85°F ideal; avoid cold drafts and temps below 55–60°F.
-
Pet note: Not pet-safe if chewed (calcium oxalate crystals).
Watering
Marble Queen prefers a balanced rhythm—water thoroughly, then allow the soil to partially dry.
-
When to water: When the top 1–2 inches feel dry.
-
How much: Water until a little drains out, then empty the saucer.
-
Typical frequency:
-
Spring/Summer: about every 7–10 days
-
Fall/Winter: about every 10–14 days
(Adjust based on pot size, light, and airflow.)
-
-
Common mistake: Overwatering. If leaves yellow and soil stays damp, let it dry more between waterings.
Light & Placement
-
Ideal: Bright, indirect light near an east window or set back from a south/west window.
-
Acceptable: Medium light (slower growth, less dramatic variegation).
-
Avoid: Intense direct sun for prolonged periods (can scorch lighter portions).
-
Design tip: Let vines trail from a shelf or counter edge for the most “cultivated” look.
Humidity & Environment
-
Best range: Comfortable at typical indoor humidity; looks its best with moderate humidity.
-
Keep away from heating/AC vents that dry foliage or chill roots.
Soil & Pot
-
Soil: Well-draining indoor potting mix.
-
Great option: potting mix + perlite (or orchid bark) for airflow.
-
-
Pot: Always use drainage holes. Pothos roots dislike soggy soil.
Fertilizing
-
Spring–Early Fall: Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer at ½ strength.
-
Late Fall/Winter: Pause or reduce (growth naturally slows).
Practical Tips (the ones that save plants)
-
Leggy growth: Needs more light—move closer to bright indirect light.
-
Fading variegation: Increase light (bright indirect) to maintain marbling.
-
Yellow leaves: Usually too much water or poor drainage.
-
Brown, crispy edges: Often low humidity, inconsistent watering, or too much direct sun.
-
Fuller plant: Pinch back tips to encourage branching; you can propagate cuttings easily.
Repotting & Growth
-
Repot every 12–24 months, or when roots circle the pot or water runs straight through.
-
Marble Queen is a steady grower; brighter indirect light supports faster growth and stronger variegation.
