# Hi everyone A person recently gave me this pothos because they were…

_Posted by Emily Ann on 2025-04-27_

Hi everyone  
A person recently gave me this pothos because they were afraid they were killing it. Does anyone know what type of pothos this is?  
Also the leaves and stem appear very weak and delicate, and recommendations on how to fix this?

Looks like a Marble Queen Pothos. Make sure it’s in a pot with some drainage, chunky around mix that drains well. They like to dry out between watering. East or west sun exposure works well for mine, but more sun will result in a more marbled and pronounced variegated look.

It’s most likely a snow queen, it has a lot more white in it than marble queens normally have and the green is lighter than a marble queens normally is.

I agree. I have a snow queen from the orange aprons, and it looks exactly like that.

It could be Marble or Snow Queen, I lean towards marble

It's either a marble queen or a snow queen. It's sometimes hard to distinguish from just one picture.

Regardless, they basically have the same care requirements. To me this plant looks like it's in a pot that's way too large. If you've had it in your home for a while now I'd recommend repotting into a small pot so that all the plant is able to receive light. 😊

Also, if the leaves aren't feeling firm it most likely needs water!

I've attached a picture of my snow queen. I've had her for several years and have propagated many other plants from her!!
