My marble queen is droopy all of the sudden, roots look good. I water/fertilize when almost fully dry. The leaves feel thin and soft and some yellowing leaves- I thought this is overwatering? I’m going on vacation today for a week and planned to water but now I’m nervous!

Is she root bound? Might be time for a repot

I repotted about 2 months ago, roots are looking good still with more room

Pothos plants are resilient. I was out all last week and mine were fine. If you don’t have time today, since you are leaving, you can always check roots to repot when you return! A couple of my plants got angry while I was gone, but all my pothos plants were fine! I have a Marble Queen among them, and she was unbothered!

This looks like the drama my snow queen gives me when she hasn’t had water in over a week or 2. But the yellowing leaves are concern for overwatering as well.

I wonder if it’s not a watering issue than it is a lack of light or pest issue. This Marble queen (which is a snow queen with less overall variegation), could be turning yellow for too little light. I’m not sure of your environment so take that with a grain of salt. And definitely check for pests.
