How to care for an Epipremnum Marble Queen
Watering Epipremnum Marble Queen
The Epipremnum Marble Queen likes even moisture, but you don't need to water it every day. Water as soon as the top 2 centimeters of potting soil feels dry. Make sure excess water can drain freely through the drainage holes. Overwatering can cause root rot, while underwatering leads to limp, yellowing leaves.
Light requirements Epipremnum Marble Queen
This variegated plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the white areas, while too little light fades the variegation. In a bright location with filtered sunlight, the Epipremnum Marble Queen retains its fresh, marbled markings. In a slightly shadier spot, the plant will survive, but growth may be somewhat slower.
Is Epipremnum Marble Queen poisonous?
Yes, the Epipremnum Marble Queen is mildly toxic to pets and children if parts are eaten. The plant contains oxalates that can cause irritation in the mouth and stomach. Keep the plant out of reach of nibblers and check our list of non-toxic houseplants if you're looking for an alternative.

Common problems
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves often indicate a water or light problem. Too much water can cause root rot, which manifests as yellowing. Too little light or a cold draft can also lead to yellowing leaves. Check your watering and adjust your location as needed.
Plant leaking moisture
If you see droplets at the leaf axils, that's guttation. This is normal in high humidity or after a generous watering. Reduce watering slightly or improve air circulation to limit excess moisture. Dramatic intervention is usually not necessary.
Pests
Spider mites, fungus gnats, and mealybugs are the most common pests on Epipremnums. Check the tops and bottoms of the leaves regularly. Treat minor infestations with a mild insecticide, a green soap solution, or the handy sticky traps for fungus gnats .
Roots go at the bottom of the pot
Sometimes aerial roots appear or roots grow outward along the edge of the pot. This is a sign of a healthy plant that needs more space. Consider a larger pot or use a climbing aid like a moss pole . This will help the plant develop further.
Brown edges on leaves
Brown edges often indicate an overly dry atmosphere or too much direct sunlight. Increase the humidity with a plant mister or move the plant slightly further from the window. Provide filtered light to prevent leaf damage.
