My marble Queen grows painfully slow sometimes I go look at old pictures of her just to remind myself she is in fact still growing 😂
Mine is growing quite quickly but she’s already an established 8” pot and she practicality gets a sansi 36w bulb all to herself.
Edit: I should mention that she has quite a bit of green on her.
Ohhhh that is a great idea I do the same with my plant care app as when I get disheartened on slow growth I see the original picture when I first got it and it helps 😁 😅🌿💚
@@zainajenkins mine is mostly on the white end, I figure that's why it's so slow
As a beginner indoor plant person, i bought a marble queen as one of my first plants from my local grocery store in November. I noticed black spots on the plant but didn't think much about it since the plant looked very lush. About two weeks into bringing it home, it started dying, yellowing, and drooping. Root rot, I pulled on one of the stems and it just glided off with a gooey string of mucus. I did some research, pulled the plant out of its pot, rinsed the roots, got rid of sickly parts, re-potted in a super chunky soil. I wasn't left with much plant, maybe 1/3 but it was a baptism by fire experience and I learned a lot about how to care for pothos.
Thanks for sharing images of the conservatory and where plants are growing. The scale of everything makes much more sense now!
No problem 😊 I will include more conservatory pictures in the future to hopefully give more context 😊💚🌿
Thank you for this video! I just got into wanting my first plant and I really wanted the Manjula. But after watching your Manjula video and then this one, I went to my local big box store and they had the Marble Queen. I decided to get it since it's a lot easier to find in my area. And since it's my first plant I decided to not challenge myself too much yet. It really is gorgeous in person. I cannot wait to watch mine grow and to propagate it.
I agree, sitting down is preferred!
Love the B-roll 💚
Awww glad you enjoyed 😊 wasn't too sure if anyone watched it 😅💚🌿
❤ everyone should have a Marble Queen! I’ve propagated mine and gave away so many pots of it! Love it!
Fully agree 🙌🙌🙌💚🌿
Another excellent video! Thanks 🌟 I've added it to my wishlist!
Definately worth adding to the wishlist for sure! Awww glad you enjoyed 😊 💚🌿
I live in coastal North Carolina and I have a Marble Queen I have had for about 2 years. It has been easy but is a little bit slower growth than other Pothos. United States of America. Love your videos!
This was one of my first plants, I got it as a supermarket rescue and for a few months it had been cut back to one leaf... now? It's one of my most beautiful plants 🥰 thank you for including common plants too!
Also in Australia, a Snow Queen here is what everyone else calls a Glacier or an Njoy. Ours looks like a combination of those two plants hence why it's got the different name.
Awwww that is great to hear, also glad you enjoyed the addition of common plants, I was thinking I might start doing more on common houseplants 😊
I gave mine a moss pole literally just an hour before I saw this video! I can't wait to see how she'll grow 🥰 Thanks for great info as always ☺️
Awwww yey hope it grows huge leaves 💚🌿 great timing then. 😊😊😊😊
I love my marble queen. Iv'e been growing them in my aquarium for years and just recently started playing with segregating the different verrigation. Grows so fast! I have pots in multiple locations all from the original mother❤🌱
I have 3 little cuttings.. recovering from a horrible fungus infestation!! Only one marble queen made it but it’s thriving again. Can’t wait for spring!!
Ohhh nooo sorry to hear about that, but yeah finger crossed 🤞🏻 it will bounce back beautifully 🌿💚
I have found that my Marble Queen becomes more variegated with more sunlight and vice versa, like my golden. I didn't even realize I HAD a golden pothos until I gave it more light and it became variegated 🙃 My Marble Queen was doing fine and then I added a grow light and it became a LOT creamier. I don't know that chopping will do as much as adding light will in terms of increasing variegation.
Fair I hadn't thought of it that way, but not sure why when I cut it it comes back? Maybe those sections are closer to the light 🤔🤔🤔🤔 will investigate 🤓💚🌿
@@Houseplantygoodness That is a very good question! I'm not sure if my hypothesis is correct, just a guess on my part.
I love this as a low maintenance plant for a lower light spot! I just stuck it in water a year ago and it’s still plugging right along!
Got to love a pothos for being adaptable 😊😊😊😊😊💚💚💚🌿🌿🌿
This is one of my absolute favourite plants in my home, and the high-white leaves are one of the first things everyone comments on when they visit… agree with you totally it’s easy to take care of and great to have around - I wish mine would grow even faster, I always want more of it! Thanks for the great video, maybe I’ll try some cuttings in pon next 😍
Completely agree most of my visitors always comment on mine too, it's just such a striking plant 😍😍😍💚🌿 definately give pon a try, I had really good success with mine in Pon
Good information
I got a small one from plane exchange, I chopped it into single nodes and propagate it into about 5 shoots. After transfer it to soil, I just keep chopping nodes that are crawling out of the pots and bury the cutting back to the soil. Those cuttings usually already have aerial roots because they are pretty close to the soil and they would establish pretty quickly.
I am hoping to get mine to pick up in size, so I put it on a pole 2 month ago. So far I am seeing some good signs.
The variegation is a bit unstable, and you do need to manage it. I was able to get some high variegation and vigorous growth, even with a west facing window in Canadian winter.
Awww that is awesome and even better that it came from a plant swap. In no time you will have a huge bushy marble queen for sure. 😊🌿💚
In Czechia its one of the most common and cheapest plants. You can find it everywhere. Big plants sell for around 10-15 euros :)
This is one of mine and my husband's favourites as well. It's living in our computer room which gets blasted with a lot of heat in the winter. It's in a terracotta pot with just basic soil and it seems to be doing fine.
I love the Marble Queen, definitely my favourite out of all of them. I propagate my trailing pothos' by pinning the trailing stems onto pots of soil still attached to the mother plant, let them root themselves in and then chop. At the end of it you already have potted plants to keep or pass on.
Glad you are showing the Marble queen such a beautiful pothos. I got mine 2 years ago as a baby plant. Its growing slowly and looks like yours colour wise with speckling and white blotches. I'd love to get a Snow queen but from what I've seen online, the images don't seem to show much difference to the Marble 🤔. I've seen someone growing this plant getting giant leaves and that's Leca Queen who has made her own mosspole supports and feeds the moss pole directly, I think that's key to getting massive leaves. My Marble queen are on a south east facing window, getting lots of light, not super fast growers, but no where near as finicky as the Manjula which I gave up on.
I never wanted a marble queen. I bought mine crying. Found in a box store about 20 marble q. pots, bone BONE dry, leaves drooping, all of them almost dead. I attempted to water them but the security guy did not allow me to do it. So i had to buy at least one. I'm so happy i have it now! She really rewarded me with her beauty and i think she's the "kindest" plant i own.
I love pothos! 💚
In my town there are golden pothos growing up the trees in landscaping and they get huge and fenestrate. I have been trying maturing a bunch of “pothos” types up trees in my yard now. Can’t wait for big fenestrated leaves! The marble queen sized up not as quick as golden pothos or cebu blue but I’m hoping for fenrstrations by spring (one year). These plants want to climb and attach if the humidity is there they will attach and run on and get BiG! There’s a reason we bench mark fast growth with pothos! I have really enjoyed learning with you this year. Thank you!
AWWW I am glad you have enjoyed the content. Yeah they can grow so huge and so fast especially given the right conditions. I bet they will all look stunning when the become huge
My pothos grow well I have several varieties of that I have Cibo blue I have global Green, and I do have quite a large golden one now it didn’t take very long to grow big. I like it so much.
I put some of my njoy starters right into soil and they are really going good
❤❤❤
Love your reviews ❤
I struggle with any kind of pothos
😂😂
So to see yours big and nice
Its a big envy
It’s like I can keep the aroids
Anthuriums Alive and happy but the easier plants just never grow
My alocasia grew faster than the pothos
For anyone who wants a alternative to the marble queen pothos
I recently acquired a epiprenum pinnatum marble and that seems to be very fast growing and nice
It’s even started to develop fenestrations
It doesn’t start to get tiny leaves like pothos do even if you let it trail
You should try it out if you like the splashy fizzy variegation
Ohhhh I need to check that one out 👀👀👀👀👀
. I am the same you don't even want to know how many easy plants I killed, give me the drama queens and I can make them thrive 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻 I guess everyone's care is different.
Ditto on alocasia, lost of mine are almost trees 😂😂😂🌿💚
plantsbymelissa has a large marble queen! She inspired me to put mine on a moss pole and I’m happy with how much faster it’s growing now :)
Nice one you have! I’ve a few diff Epis in my collection. I find this particular one the slowest growing out of them all. Although it’s still a baby 🤔 Can’t wait for fenestrations!
Ohhhh yeah it can be quite slow, Awwww fenestrations would be the dream here 😍😍😍😍🌿💚
I have two, my one with more green is super slow and one with more white/cream is a whole lot faster. Definitely interesting how differently they can grow
@@beccalynn2184 Right? Always SO cool to see. Especially when they give out their "all" when you least expect it.
i have this one. i noticed that it can go dry for a while without totally reading me the riot act, but it does a lot better when i let it dry THEN water right when i notice that it's dry. also mine definitely seems happier up on a pole and when it gets more light
The snow queen pothos that I have is very slow growing 1-2 new leaves a year for me.
Marble queen is very easy to find in my area. It's in nearly every big box store. But they're hard pass up ,bcuz they're so pretty
Right?? So difficult to pass by them 😍💚🌿
My snow queen is significantly slower than my marble - albeit overall growth tends to be slowed more by super tight internodal spacing rather than new leaves. Having had each for around 6 months here in Syd/Aus, each have added around 20 leaves, however marble queen is about 6ft long, whilst snow queen is maybe 1ft at most
I loved my snow queen I had her under her own light and it grew a leaf a month. It did great till I moved then it died 😢
I bought it in france 10 years ago in a supermarket! here in france you can find pothos (neon/golden/marble queen) mostly every where for a realluy low price (5€ if I remember). mine has grown so well that he is now falling on the wall of the staircase! he is like 3 meter long! I also use an aroid mix and try to forget to water it!
Awwww see that is awesome and so glad they are so easy and affordable to find there. Such awesome plants 💚🌿
I Have 3 Marble Queen Plants 🪴 There Growing Well West 👍 Window 🪟 👏 I Had One For About 2 Years 2 This Year I Love Love Love Love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 Marble Queen Plants 🪴 ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💕 💙 🪴 ❤️ 😅
Just put mine on a pole to try get some big leaves will let you know how it goes. I’m Henry from insta:)
Awwww awesome, hopefully will grow huge 😊😊😊 hey Henry 👋👋👋👋
Ok Iam in the U.S and we either call it a sunroom or you have a greenhouse. Is there a difference? Either way I love it and I enjoy watching your videos 😊.
My first marble queen has alot more white than green and I later found out the difference between what I had and the actual marble queen so I had a snow queen. It grows but it is very slow. Everyone says the njoy is the slowest growing pothos but I can say that one is twice as fast as my snow queen.
I find the Manjula/Happy Leaf epipremnum the slowest plant I own. Even my succulents grow faster for me 🙂 I wonder if it is possible for anything to grow even slower 🙂
Yeah I echo that manjula is super slow for me and yeah the one in the video with more cream grows slow, but manjula for me super slow. However my njoy can go super fast in summer for some reason 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🌿💚
@@Houseplantygoodness my njoy also impresses me with its growth in the summertime. Manjula is roughly the same for me.
I love all pothos, except satin
In California USA this is pretty common but sells quickly because it is beloved. I don’t have one because I keep going back and forth between this one and manjula
Awwww that does make sense, also get the indecision between this and the Manjula. My 2 cents, this is a better one to get going with as I found it tends to be less root rot prone 😊💚🌿
I have one sold to me as a snow queen that looks extremely similar to the pothos you had featured in this video. Mine maybe has less of those green chunks
Yeah I did debate once if I did have a snow queen, but my green chunks is what makes me pause. I bet yours is stunning 😍 😍 😍
@Houseplantygoodness I also just got what I thought was going to be an epiprenum *pinnatum* marble and I'm pretty sure its just an epi aureum marble so...no fenestrations as it matures 😔
@@joannanovara815 awww nooo that’s a shame 😔 but still really pretty though 🤩🤩🤩
MARBLE QUEEN P💚THOS!!!
Have you seen @plantsbymelissa's huge marble queen? I did have mine planted in with my satin pothos (I bought the two at the same time and the satin is now trailing on the floor whereas the marble queen wasn't even hanging over the side!) but dug it out the other day and potted it up on its own with a moss pole to see if I can get big leaves. I prefer pothos to philodendron.
Ohhh no I haven't, must check it out. Yeah i get it 💯 love a good pothos 💚🌿
@@Houseplantygoodness I really want to like philodendron (got burnt by the pink princess!) - your plant reviews brought me to your channel as I really want to find a philo I like and your reviews help.
@@emmer82 awwww yeah I get that especially with the pink princess, I do have to say my all time easiest to grow is gloriosum and Malay gold
@@Houseplantygoodness Ok cool, Thank you. I thought gloriosum were difficult for some reason! I will have to go back and check out your vids on those two plants (looks like I've already watched your gloriosum one actually, but I don't remember what I thought and why I haven't gone for it!) I was thinking I might try micans.
You mention Auxin but I don’t see a lot of content about this when I TH-cam search “Pothos auxins”. Never heard of this before
I put my starters right into soil
Isn't that a Snow queen? I'm trying a 4 foot cedar plank for my golden pothos. How long does it take to attach to the plank?
.. It won't take long to attach, just be patient ☺️.. Remember it's winter time now, and some plants grow in slow motion if at all for another month 🤗 my golden pothos doesn't know its winter though and still grows like crazy..
Yeah will get there soon enough, winter isn't helping any of us looking for growth. Thankfully all our golden Pothos seem to not realise like Aingeal says ☺️💚🌿
I think it is still a marble queen I thought it might have been a snow queen but got corrected a while back from people who have a snow queen ☺️ either way I love it 💚🌿
@@Houseplantygoodness either way yes. I mean it is a marble queen- snow queen is a sport of it. It just has more of the white. Sadly I can't send anything on comments 😢
@sydneyplantguy does not have this beauty (yes, psychofan here).
Have mines for a while, just bought another one for the simple reason: it's just stunning 😍 most of mines are hanging and still giving me decent leafs. My absolute favorite pothos and one of favorite plants in general.
Fungus? Yes!!! Thrips? Unfortunately yes but it was 100% my bad as I didn't treat it in time and bastards spread everywhere.
In my experience it's really easy plant as long as it doesn't get overwatered.
Someone on Instagram has its mature fenestrated form (on a moss pole) and it's my absolute dream to grow my newest baby that big! Only time will tell but fingers crossed!
Enjoy your marble queen guys!
Thanks for another amazing video ❤ love the plant reviews!
Have mines in aroid mix btw!
Also it is a pretty fast grower for me as well, the more bright (indirect) light it gets the better.
Awww amazing thanks for sharing you experience and conditions and super glad uoy enjoy the series 😊 completely agree everyone should have one for sure
