Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Marble Variegata’ is a highly sought-after variegated form of the species, known for its marbled white, cream, and soft green variegation. Each leaf develops a unique pattern, ranging from fine streaks to bold patches of lighter colour against a deeper green background. The leaves are slightly thicker than standard green pinnatum forms and display a subtle sheen.
Juvenile leaves are elongated and narrow, while mature foliage develops distinct fenestrations (cuts) once the plant is given adequate support and light. The growth habit is vining and climbing, producing progressively larger leaves when attached to a moss pole or plank. In ideal conditions, the variegation becomes more stable and pronounced over time.

Care Information
Light:
Bright, indirect light is essential to maintain variegation. Too little light may cause new growth to revert, while strong direct sun can scorch the pale sections.
Water:
Allow the top 2–4 cm of the soil to dry out between waterings. The plant prefers consistent moisture but is sensitive to waterlogging.
Humidity:
Benefits from moderate to high humidity (60%+). Higher humidity supports faster growth and encourages larger, mature leaf shapes.
Temperature:
Grows best between 18–27 °C. Avoid temperatures below 15 °C and protect from cold drafts.
Soil:
A well-aerated aroid mix—typically bark, perlite, and coco coir—helps prevent root rot and supports strong growth. Good drainage is essential.
Feeding:
Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, dilute liquid fertiliser. Reduce feeding during winter dormancy.
Propagation:
Can be propagated via stem cuttings. Variegation levels may vary between cuttings, depending on the section of the stem used.
