Pothos ‘Marble Queen’ – The Stunning, Low-Maintenance Showstopper
If you’re looking for a houseplant that delivers striking variegation with almost no effort, Epipremnum aureum ‘Marble Queen’ is a perfect choice. This pothos variety is known for its creamy white and green marbled leaves, making it one of the most visually striking members of the pothos family. It thrives in a variety of light conditions, tolerates some neglect, and is an excellent air purifier. Whether you’re new to houseplants or have an established collection, ‘Marble Queen’ adds an elegant touch to any space.
What Makes ‘Marble Queen’ Different from Other Pothos?
Pothos plants are known for their adaptability and easygoing nature, but ‘Marble Queen’ stands out with its dramatic variegation. The leaves are heavily streaked with creamy white and green, sometimes appearing almost entirely white. Compared to the classic golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), ‘Marble Queen’ has a much slower growth rate due to the high amount of white in its foliage—less chlorophyll means less energy for growth.
Another close relative, ‘Snow Queen,’ has even more intense variegation with mostly white leaves, but ‘Marble Queen’ offers the perfect balance of white and green, making it easier to care for while still looking unique.
Why You’ll Love Pothos ‘Marble Queen’ in Your Home
- Gorgeous Variegation – Every leaf is different, creating a stunning marbled effect.
- Thrives in Low Light – While it prefers bright, indirect light, it can handle lower light levels better than most variegated plants.
- Air-Purifying Qualities – Like other pothos varieties, it helps remove toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air.
- Low-Maintenance & Hard to Kill – Forgives occasional neglect and adapts to a variety of conditions.
- Great for Hanging or Trailing – Works beautifully in hanging baskets, climbing up a moss pole, or trailing from a shelf.
- Easy to Propagate – Snip a cutting, place it in water, and watch new roots form—perfect for sharing with friends.
How to Train & Style Your ‘Marble Queen’
Pothos plants are natural climbers, meaning you can train them in different ways to suit your space:
- Trailing – Let the vines cascade from a hanging basket or shelf for a lush, flowing look.
- Climbing – Attach it to a moss pole or trellis for larger leaves and a more vertical display.
- Bushy Look – Prune regularly to encourage a fuller, more compact shape.
Tip: If your ‘Marble Queen’ gets too leggy, simply cut the vines back. It will grow new leaves from the nodes, creating a fuller plant.
Common Issues & How to Fix Them
Why Are the Leaves Losing Their Variegation?
- Too little light—move the plant to a brighter spot.
- Older growth naturally turns greener, but new leaves should still have strong marbling.
Why Are the Leaves Turning Yellow?
- Overwatering is the most common cause. Let the soil dry out before watering again.
- If the soil is constantly wet, check for root rot and trim off any mushy roots.
Why Are the Leaves Curling?
- Underwatering or very low humidity can cause leaf curling. Increase watering slightly or mist occasionally.
Fun Facts About Pothos ‘Marble Queen’
- It’s native to French Polynesia, where it grows as a climbing vine in tropical forests.
- In the wild, pothos can climb up trees and reach over 40 feet long. Indoors, it usually stays under 10 feet.
- Unlike many houseplants, pothos doesn’t flower indoors—it needs to be in its natural habitat to bloom.
- It’s one of the easiest plants to propagate—just snip a stem, place it in water, and watch roots grow.
Is It Pet-Friendly?
No. Epipremnum aureum is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. If you have curious pets, keep it on a high shelf or in a hanging basket out of reach.

Why Choose ‘Marble Queen’ Over Other Pothos Varieties?
If you love pothos but want something with extra personality, ‘Marble Queen’ is the perfect choice. Its bold white-and-green marbling makes it more visually striking than the standard golden pothos, but it’s just as easy to care for. Unlike neon pothos, which has bright yellow-green leaves, or jade pothos, which is solid green, ‘Marble Queen’ offers a beautiful contrast that instantly brightens any space.
Whether you want an elegant trailing plant, an easy-care climbing vine, or a conversation-starting centerpiece, this variety delivers. It’s a pothos with just the right amount of drama—without the high maintenance.

A Feminist Divine Comedy?
Format: Paperback
Let me start with this: The Descent of Alette is difficult to read at first. Notley "puts quotation marks around" "groups of words" "in lines" "that can be off-putting." Note that I'm not quoting from the book there, just giving an example of what the book's text appears like. This forces us to read more slowly, taking in each line a few words at a time. What appears to be awkward is in fact a great solution to the speed-reading most of us do these days. That being said, it's troublesome for the first few poems, less so after that, virtually invisible by the end of the first section.
When talking about this book, I immediately compare it to Dante's Divine Comedy, and I commonly see others do the same (see an earlier review here on Amazon.com). Exchange Hell for a subway, and you've basically got it: an underground realm ruled over by a Tyrant, poor souls being tortured, though in this case there is no indication that they have done anything to deserve it. Notley's language might not be quite as beautiful/harsh as Dante's, but her images stand with anything he created. After introducing two characters on a subway, a woman and her baby, both on fire, Notley writes:
"another woman" "in uniform" "from above ground"
"entered" "the train" "She was fireproof" "she wore gloves, & she"
"took" "the baby" "took the baby" "away from the"
"mother" "Extracted" "the burning baby" "From the fire" "they
made together" "But the baby" "still burned"
("But not yours" "It didn't happen" "to you")
"We don't know yet" "if it will" "stop burning,"
"said the uniformed" "woman" "The burning woman" "was crying"
"she made a form" "in her mind" "an imaginary" "form" "to
settle" "in her arms where" "the baby" "had been" "We saw
her fiery arms" "cradle the air" "She cradled air" ("They take your
children" "away" "if you"re on fire")
"In the air that" "she cradled" "it seemed to us there" "floated"
"a flower-like" "a red flower" "its petals" "curling flames"
"She cradled" "seemed to cradle" "the burning flower of" "herself gone"
"her life" ("She saw" "whatever she saw, but what we saw" "was that flower")
After surviving the horrors of the subway, Alette goes even deeper underground, passing through a series of psychological challenges that at times seem straight out of Freud, at times out of Classical mythology, at times out of collective dreams. Throughout it all, we learn more and more about Alette, who is not just a "hero" who goes through the motions necessary to the plot, but who considers and stumbles and is confused and learns.
The third section of the book is a rebirth, wherein Alette finds a source for a stronger power than the Tyrant's, and it is distinctly feminist in its nature. I need to note here for those who react to feminism in a knee-jerk way: Notley's feminism is not a militant feminism, though it requires brief "military" action on Alette's part. Men are helpful in the story, have purpose besides being the bad guy. If anything, what Notley attacks in the form of the Tyrant is the idea of a corrupt masculinity, a kind of Big Brother who would easily stand as an antagonist in any number of 20th/21st century literary works. Alette's feminism is the discovery of her place in the world, and that place is not slaving away mindlessly for the Tyrant, not acting as just a womb or pair of hands or pretty face. It's a nuanced message, despite the epic (and therefore presumably black-and-white) nature of the whole book.
The fourth section is the showdown with the Tyrant, a great deal of philosophizing, and an ending that I actually find more satisfying than that of Paradiso. I won't spoil it here, but it just works extremely well in conjunction with the themes of Descent as a whole.
If you want to be challenged, if you want to think deep thoughts, if you want surreality and magic, pick up The Descent of Alette. For even more interesting reading from the author and her partner, you could also turn to The Scarlet Cabinet, which contains but actually predates the on-its-own publication of Descent.

A Contemporary Epic
Format: Paperback
I have a complicated relationship with most of the books I've read by Alice Notley. I admire her facility with the lyric, her ability to get just beneath a concept or sentiment using a very talk-y style so that I always feel like I'm with whatever speaker she's using, inside that mind and her mind all at once. This is a good kind of complication. It's one I yearn for with poems.
The unpleasant complications are when I feel as though I'm just being subjected to her unedited notebook entries. Too much, too much, too much. It comes up especially with her book Mysteries of Small Houses.
I mention these difficulties only to sharpen the accomplishment of The Descent of Alette. Like other reviewers, I feel the tonal similarities to Dante's Inferno. Which becomes a subversive allusion considering Alette seeks after a male Tyrant in order to destroy him, while Dante sought after his Beatrice out of desire. But I read and reread Alette, because Notley continually subverts patriarchal conventions in the book.
I actually find I crave the speaker's intellect, and the mythic logic that gives the book its arc. I want it more. Yes, there are quotations around each fragment in the poems. I actually appreciate them for slowing my reading down, and for sharpening my focus on the use of Notley's language. And it's not just a stylistic tic, or something to be endured. It could actually be described as further subversion of The Tyrant Alette pursues.

I tend to leave most books in this genre disappointed. I miss the classics
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book after hearing Stacey Lee speak about narrative tension at a lecture for YA writers - the talk was specifically entitled, "How to keep them up all night." The lecture (alongside Anna Shinoda) bit off a rather large amount of material. Neither woman mentioned vampires. The methods they discussed were smart, creative, and delivered with just enough humor to leave me wondering whether I'd be able to put their debut novels down.
I devoured GONE WITH THE WIND at least six times cover to cover between my sophomore and senior year. While I am more susceptible to the Historical Fiction page turner than the average girl, I tend to leave most books in this genre disappointed. I miss the classics. I opened this book determined to not judge it by its gorgeous pastel cover. I started slowly. I enjoyed the first four or five chapters - leaving each fully appreciative of Lee's craft. I particularly enjoyed her ability to pepper humor though tragedy. I often complain about writers who miss the mark here. Stacey Lee nailed that important believable balance for me. I liked her characters quickly. I left each chapter satisfied, but thoroughly able to get up and go on with my life. Like a jaded Thumper in Walt Disney's BAMBI, this book was more than nice, but I wasn't susceptible to any kind of teen-aged Twitterpation over it. After the sixth or seventh chapter - four or five days after I first picked it up, I quietly closed my copy, placed it on my nightstand, switched off my lamp, fluffed my pillow and turned over. I turned over again. I flipped on the light - OK, just one more chapter... I zombie sleepwalked to work the next day. That night I retired early, making some completely convincing excuse about being exhausted. I was certainly too tired to read. Flash forward to 6AM when I woke up with this novel on my face. I turned it's last page this afternoon, fully satisfied. I am truly sad it's over. This book transported me. It's one I'll want to have in my collection forever, alongside the beautiful books that mattered to me as a teen; JANE EYRE, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, UNDER A PAINTED SKY. Classic in feel, subject matter, and voice - but modern in approach, I'd be as comfortable recommending it to my book club as I would handing it to any teen. Readers of all ages and walks of life will surely find something that resonates with their own stories too. As for me, I am sure I'll be back on the trail with these girls-- I mean boys, before long.
Now I'm off to try my hand at Anna Shinoda's LEARNING NOT TO DROWN. Well, maybe tomorrow. I need a good night's sleep and it's clear these authors know how to keep those pages turning.

Good, Fun, Important Topics
Format: Paperback
Good, solid, read for ages 12+. Somewhat unrealistic and yet believable story of two strong young female characters traveling west disguised as boys. Couldn't stop reading it until I was finished with the book, and now my granddaughter is doing the same. This book has many relevant themes about race, gender, class, religion, and other stereotypes and is an excellent choice for a classroom or family read aloud. Get it.
