Scientific Name
Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Green' (golden plant which grows on the bottom of a tree, cultivar: marble green)
Synonyms: Pothos aureus, Rhaphidophora aurea, Scindapsus aureus
This plant was first described as a Pothos, and subsequently reclassified as both Rhaphidophora aurea and Scindapsus aureus before settling on the current scientific name: Epipremnum aureum.
Common Name(s)
Marble Green Pothos, Devil’s Ivy, Pothos Plant
Origin
This is a cultivated variety; the species originates in French Polynesia
Light
Thrives in bright but indirect light. This plant tolerates lower light but may lose some marbling if kept in too dim a spot. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. If its variegation starts fading, gradually move it to a brighter location.
Water
Allow the top third of the soil to dry out between waterings. In shadier conditions, let about half the soil dry out to avoid waterlogging. Watch for soggy soil in winter, as overwatering can lead to root rot.
Humidity
Prefers average household humidity but enjoys higher humidity if available. Avoid misting directly, but occasional hosing down will help remove dust and keep leaves vibrant. Keep away from radiators and heaters that may dry the plant out.
Soil
Plant in a well-draining soil mix with chunky elements like bark or perlite for airflow. A mix designed for Monsteras or Philodendrons works perfectly. Repot every few years to refresh the soil and allow room for growth.
Food
Feed every four waters during spring and summer, reducing to every six waters in autumn and winter. Use a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength.
Temperature
Thrives in temperatures of 18-30°C. Avoid temperatures below 12°C, as the plant may suffer cold damage.
Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small children if ingested.
Sprouts Top Tips
Give this plant room to grow or provide a pole or trellis for it to climb. With the right support, it can reach impressive lengths, making it perfect for larger spaces. Prune regularly to control growth and use cuttings to propagate new plants.
Extras
Marble Green Pothos thrives with regular care and occasional grooming. Rotate the pot occasionally to ensure even growth and prevent leaning.

Important Information
If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact formWe're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.
Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.
If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.
We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.
We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.
If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.
