Adopting and caring for Marble Queen Pothos

Adopting: Adding a lush, well-grown Marble Queen to a collection of foliage plants is a joy only a true plant parent can understand. At eplants, we bring you display-ready plants with high-quality growth, compact shape, and well-formed leaves

Locating: Money Plants will thrive in medium to bright light, even though they are also known to tolerate low light conditions. If you are locating them indoors, it is best to rotate the plants around once every few weeks, giving them a bright window or a balcony for a few days.

Potting: Money Plants do not need any special type of potting soil. Being a tropical native, they do well in any well-drained potting soil, rich with organic material. Use a mix of coco-peat, compost, sand in 20:60:20 ratio.

Watering: Overwatering is the chief cause of disease or loss of plant life. While Money Plants need regular watering, do ensure that you don’t overwater them. To get these plant to show off their richly coloured leaves, it is best to wipe them clean with a moist tissue or cloth once every month. In drier months, misting them a few times a week could help improve humidity around the plant and help them thrive

Fertilising: Feeding your Money Plants a few times a year is a good way to keep them healthy. Give them some organic liquid fertiliser once or twice a year. Dilute the fertiliser in water, as described on the pack and add little to each pot as part of your watering routine. If you are using a chemical fertiliser, do ensure that you keep it away from the plant and its base.

While there are many myths and stories surrounding a Money Plant, in reality, Pothos are called so because their leaves (round, flat, heart-shaped, dark green, and plump) resemble coins. Pothos is a perennial and may be grown as either a trailer or a climber.
