Variety Details
Golden Pothos
The classic and most common variety with heart-shaped green leaves splashed with golden-yellow variegation. Grows vigorously and tolerates the widest range of conditions.
Distinguishing feature: Irregular yellow-gold patches and streaks on green leaves
Care notes: Most forgiving variety; variegation fades in low light but the plant stays healthy
Marble Queen Pothos
A striking variety with heavily variegated cream and green marbled leaves. Slower growing than Golden Pothos due to less chlorophyll in the light-colored areas.
Distinguishing feature: Creamy white and green marbled pattern covering most of the leaf surface
Care notes: Needs brighter light to maintain variegation; slower growth rate means less frequent repotting and pruning
Neon Pothos
A vibrant variety with solid bright lime-green leaves that seem to glow. The new leaves emerge an almost electric yellow-green before deepening slightly with age.
Distinguishing feature: Solid bright lime-green leaves with no variegation
Care notes: Best color in bright indirect light; in low light the leaves darken to a standard green; very fast grower
