Pothos "Marble Queen"

10 years ago

Does anyone know if pothos "Marble Queen" has the same growing habits as the Jade variety of pothos? I have large jade that's about 5 years old and a 9 foot huge full plant. I plan on planting my two young pothos I just got in the same style pot. Hoping for the long full vines I have on the Jade, but with the almost white of Marble Queen :)


Thanks

    yes, they grow the same. I planted both kinds together and they both grow rapidly. Such a pretty plant! One of my favs.

    For some strange reason every Marble queen i get dies!!! I have some cuttings that I put in a pot with a Diffenbachia that are doing OK. So hopefully it will live LOL

    Jamilalshaw26- mine loves it in a west window. It didn't do much until I moved it there.

    kinco444- Mine has been forming more of a pouff ball, not trailing. I've also been wondering how it's going to grow because it's clumping together growing upwards, not downwards.

    Wow, I didn't know these plants had so much in the way of white markings. I have never seen these at my nursery (weird, huh?). It definitely seems like it would prefer brighter light than its "golden" cousin.

    I think it does prefer more light and that may be the issue I have with them.

    I have found over the past few years that my marble queen is the slowest grower of all my Pothos. My jade Pothos and golden probably grow 4 times as fast at least. My neon is just behind them in growth followed by my n joy and then finally the marbled queen. Last place. This makes sense because marbled queens have more white on them. The white part does not photosynthesize so does not help the plant grow.

    I would definetly suggest you keep it close to a good light source. Also you probably won't have to water the queen as often because it is growing slower. I live in Montana though so may not be optimal conditions for them here. :)

    The gold and green here in NW Minnesota and most of USA call it the Devil's Ivy... and they like filtered direct light... mine are growing great in a West window with blinds adjusted to their liking...

    Found a really cool (relatively old, I presume) Marble Queen at Wal-Mart today. It was hanging with all the clearance outdoor flowers so I'm guessing it's been in the store a while! Super thick stems and vines that have clearly been cut back :(

    It's still beautiful, if a bit bedraggled. A little bit of bright indirect sun, and some Neptunes Harvest fertilizer should bring her back though :)

    What do you guys think?

    Pretty! Love this one but can never keep it alive, which is ironically sad to me because of all the picky, fragile plants that thrive in my house and I can't keep a pothos alive? Lol I have a huge standard that wraps all the way from my dining room through my kitchen and back into my dining room. I have a gorgeous satin that has huge leaves. And a little neon that is slowly flourishing, but I have killed the marble queen probably half a dozen times.

    I have three marble queens and a huge Jade as well. I think it's the extreme varigation that sets MQ up for failure. Like someone above said the white doesn't photosenthesis so it needs more light to produce food for itself. I'm gonna try this new one outside for a couple days and see how it does in some good sunshine!
