Pothos vine

Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Queen'

This tropical houseplant sports highly-varied markings on a cascading vine that looks good in containers and hanging baskets. There are several species and many cultivars of pothos from which to choose. 'Marble Queen' has stems and leaves ranging from white to cream-colored flecked with green. Pothos like bright, filtered light throughout the year. At low light levels, leaves tend to lose their color contrast. Water moderately but allow soil to dry between waterings. Stems slowly grow to several feet in length. Shape the plant by pinching back stems as needed.
