How to care for your Marble Pothos

Light:

• The Marble Pothos prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Watering:

• Water your Marble Pothos when the top inch or so of the soil feels dry to the touch.
• Use a well-draining potting mix and a container with drainage holes to prevent root rot.

Humidity:

• Marble Pothos needs an average indoor humidity. You can mist the plant occasionally to increase humidity around it.

Repotting:

• Repot your Pothos every 1-2 years or when you notice the roots becoming cramped in their current pot.
• Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and refresh the potting mix.

Fertilizing:

• Feed your Marble Pothos every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer

Now that you know a little information about the Marble Pothos you should be able to start or add to your houseplant collection! Happy planting!
