# Hey there. New to Planta and, other than keeping a Rattlesnake…

_Posted by Katie on 2024-03-08_

Hey there. New to Planta and, other than keeping a Rattlesnake Calathea alive for 4 years, new to houseplant care. Couple ID questions:

I adopted this succulent from my mom about a year ago and am not sure what it is. Fairy Washboard is my best guess based on my research, but I’d love to know for sure.

And last week I bought this pothos. It was labeled Golden Pothos, but from pictures I’ve seen, it looks more like a Marble Queen. Can someone confirm which it is. And also, what causes some leaves to be variegated and others not?

Thanks!

yep! looks like a marble queen. and i’m pretty sure lighting causes different variegation but also just the plant itself does it

actually, looking a little closer, part of me thinks u have a mix of both golden pitches and the marble queen cause there shouldn’t be any solid green leaves

Huh. Interesting. Thanks for your input!

Succulent looks just like my fairy washboard. I also love the variegation on the other plant!!

Yay, thanks!

It’s a marble queen yes but their base is a golden pothos! So if I put my golden in the window this is how she will look like with time!
