Any tips for my marble pothos? Leaves are starting to brown. Do I leave them or cut them off?

You’ll want to figure what’s causing that and fix it before you cut them off because this is a sign of a problem. Those are either burning or you’ve got a watering problem; i suspect the latter

Same, definitely take it out of the pot and look at the roots, looks like too big of a pot too

I had tons of brown leaves on my marble after I first brought it home. I changed to a better draining soil, moved it to a brighter spot and then gave it a few weeks to acclimate. They do need more light than regular pothos. Then I chopped all the brown leaves and she’s been pretty happy since.

I have only had mine in water and she stays perky and bright!

Highly agree with everyone above! I’d recommend going down a pot a size and your soil looks fairly wet for a pothos. I plant mine in a cactus mix, in a terra cotta pot with drainage holes. I think the light levels look pretty decent! I do notice my manjula likes very infrequent fertilizing

also this is a manjula pothos! really closely related to the marble queen though!

Looks like a manjula pothos to me (as noted above) If I were to guess it's getting too much water. Don't rely on planta to tell you when to water, use it more as a guide as to when you've watered last. You'll have more success that way. 😊🪴

I personally would cut those leaves off so the plant can concentrate on producing healthy leaves.

I agree with all the above comments. Once you’ve checked the roots and repotted, make sure to only water it when the soil is fully dry, since I’ve found that pothos thrive in a bit of drought.

Do you have drainage holes in there? The soil looks moist. Also, probably cut those off and check the roots and look for any pests

Agree with all of the above: pot too big. Planted too deeply so less airflow. Soil too wet too long if it can grow fungus gnats.

Mine are all in their original nursery pots, 4” and 6”pots, in soil with lots of perlite.
