Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Marble Queen Pothos Kokedama is a simple and rewarding process. For optimal growth and to maintain its vibrant variegation, place your kokedama in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can scorch the leaves and discolor the moss ball, turning it brown. An east-facing window or a spot several feet from a south or west-facing window is usually ideal. While the Marble Queen Pothos is tolerant of lower light conditions, its distinctive white and cream patterns will be more pronounced with adequate bright, indirect exposure. Rotate your kokedama occasionally to ensure even growth and light distribution.

Watering is straightforward and crucial for the health of your Pothos Kokedama care. The best indicator is the weight of the moss ball; when it feels significantly lighter and dry to the touch, it’s time to water. To water, immerse the entire moss ball in a bucket or sink filled with room-temperature water. Allow it to soak for about 10-20 minutes, or until you no longer see bubbles rising. This indicates that the moss and roots have fully absorbed water. Remove the kokedama from the water and gently squeeze out any excess moisture before returning it to its display location. Avoid overwatering, as constantly soggy moss can lead to root rot. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer. The Marble Queen Pothos thrives in average room temperatures, typically between 65-85°F (18-29°C), and appreciates moderate to high humidity, though it tolerates average household humidity well. Regularly remove any yellowing or dead foliage to encourage new growth and maintain the plant’s overall health and appearance. The resilience of the Epipremnum aureum Kokedama makes it forgiving, even for those new to plant care.
