- Water when top 1–2 inches of soil are dry
- Humidity
- 40–50% (tolerates average household humidity)
- Temperature
- 65–85°F (18–29°C)
How to tell it apart from look-alikes
Confused with N'Joy Pothos (which has more defined, less marbled variegation in distinct green and white sections) and Manjula Pothos (wavier leaves, more cream than white, no all-white sectors).
Pet safety: Marble Queen Pothos is toxic to cats and dogs per the ASPCA. Verify on ASPCA.
