My marbles queen pothos suffered from what I think was spider mites. It lost a lot of leaves. I think the mites are gone but what can I do to help it recover? Should I chop and propagate just in case?

If I was being extra cautious, I would just give her some fresh soil. Rinse the roots off while you’re in there and put back in the same pot. Keep checking for those suckers for a couple weeks

The snow queen seems to be vulnerable to pests, mine was infested this fall by spider mites.. ugh They’re very annoying.. I’d washed the pot with warm water & wiped its leaves thoroughly with a soapy water, being sure to give it a good rinse, then changed its soil. I’d cut back any damage so it’s not putting energy into saving leaves that will probably be lost anyway.. It’s coming back nicely & I check for those pesky mites weekly, doing a leaf wipe (top & bottom)
