Marble Queen Pothos, or Epipremnum Aureum, is a marvelous tropical plant that can refresh any house with the waterfall of colors. It’s a leafy vine, which can climb from the hanging pot along any shelf or wall, creating some tropical atmosphere. It has bright green leaves in the shape of heart painted with white. Put the pot not far from window and the plant will show its variety of colors. According to NASA study, Marble Queen Pothos purifies the indoor air, that’s is why it is so popular among people.
Growing conditions:
- lighting: Marble Queen Pothos requires bright light, but it can feel good with medium and low light. But if the light is bright, protect the plant from the direct sunlight, because it can burn the leaves.
- watering: water the plant as soon as the soil dries out few inches from the top. Marble Queen Pothos prefers to be on the dry side rather than to receive too much water, because its roots will start to rot.
- fertilizing: use general purpose fertilizers few times in a year during growing season.
- nuances: the plant will grow well with the standard level of humidity indoors, but still it appreciates occasional misting. It is very sensitive to low temperatures during cold season, so be sure it is not suffering from it. The plant can thrive in small pot with rare repotting.
Cutting Only :
Plant Cutting propagation can be done in water or soil, but once it begins, the plant has difficult switching to the other growing medium.
If you place the cutting in water, the plant should remain in water once it grows larger. The same goes for a cutting propagated in the soil.
It is normal for your cutting to shed a few leaves over time, but if you are seeing increased leaf loss, there might be an underlying problem.
If your cutting plant has distorted leaf growth, this may be due to nutrient and/or light deficiencies, insect infestations, or too little water. Mealybugs and scale often take up residence on the plant, and can be removed with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball.
If the cutting plant leaf tips are turning brown, this is a sign of low humidity. To solve this problem, you can lightly spray your plant with water or place it in a room with a humidifier.
