is the care for a golden pothos vs. a marble queen pothos different in any way? i keep getting caught up on which variety my pothos is, but it doesn't really matter to me as long as it's getting the right care. thanks in advance! :)

some of the leaves look yellow in the pictures, but they're more cream-colored in person

As far as I know, the only difference should be light requirements. Heavy variegation means more light needed just in general. But I think pothos are usually hardy enough to put anywhere with medium light, regardless of variety.
