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. Alternatively, prune regularly to control growth and you can use the 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.
