New leaves in pothos at work, i’m guessing those are bleached from the sun? It was in direct light!

I don’t know if sun really bleaches leaves like this! New leaves usually darken over time and honestly they look like they are some sort of white variegation!

Looks like a marble queen 💚

Yea they don’t get bleached, only sunburned lol. This happens because it’s getting so much light

#### addie svarade den 2024-02-26

but is that bad? is it okay to leave in the sun?

I actually had my marble queen outside all last summer in 100+ heat/some direct sunlight and it was absolutely fine. Some people say sun washing them helps bring out the variegation so I would t worry over it at all. Your plant looks healthy to me.

I wouldn’t say it’s bad, as long as it doesn’t get brown crispy spots

Plants can get sunburned but this one actually looks normal! Marble queen pothos can masquerade as a normal pothos at low light, but when they’re grow in high light the new leaves are much whiter. This plant looks like it’s growing better based on that new growth

Bright indirect sunlight is best for pothos'!

I’m going to go ahead and say I wouldn’t do it. Keep the plant away from windows and towards the interior of the home or your pretty white sections/leaves will burn because they don’t enough pigment to protect them! I’ve just burned a ton of leaves so I’m trying to save you lol.
