Description

Lizard Queen Pothos (Epipremnum aureum 'Lizard Queen') is a rare cultivar that stands apart from standard Pothos with its distinctive scale-like leaf patterning — deep green with a textured, almost reptilian surface that catches light differently than typical Pothos foliage. It has the same forgiving, fast-growing nature as Golden or Marble Queen Pothos, but with a look that's genuinely unusual.

Available in a 2.5" starter pot and a 4" nursery pot. Trails beautifully from shelves or climbs a moss pole for larger leaf development.

Toxicity note: Contains calcium oxalate crystals. Keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and children.

Plant Profile

  • Botanical Name: Epipremnum aureum 'Lizard Queen'
  • Common Name: Lizard Queen Pothos
  • Family: Araceae
  • Native Range: Cultivar; parental species from tropical Southeast Asia
  • Growth Habit: Trailing vine; climbs with support
  • Toxicity: Toxic to cats, dogs, and humans if ingested

Care Guide

  • Light: Bright indirect light brings out the best leaf patterning and fastest growth. Tolerates low light well but growth slows. Avoid direct sun which scorches the leaves.
  • Water: Allow soil to dry out between waterings — it's better to underwater than overwater. Yellow leaves signal too much water; crispy tips signal too little.
  • Humidity: Average household humidity is fine. No special requirements.
  • Temperature: Above 60°F. Keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents.
  • Soil: Well-draining potting mix. Adding perlite improves drainage.
  • Fertilizer: Once a month in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Skip in fall and winter.
  • Pruning: Trim leggy vines to encourage bushier growth. Remove yellowing leaves at the node.
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings with a node root easily in water or moist soil within 2–3 weeks.
  • Support: A moss pole encourages larger, more dramatic leaves as the plant climbs.

Troubleshooting

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering. Let soil dry more between waterings and check drainage.
  • Brown, crispy tips: Underwatering or low humidity. Water more consistently.
  • Fading leaf pattern: Insufficient light. Move to a brighter spot with indirect light.
  • Leggy growth with small leaves: Needs more light or a moss pole to climb.

Live Plants – Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping

What will I receive?

You’ll receive one healthy live plant in the nursery-pot or hanging-basket size selected above. The listed size refers to the approximate diameter of the nursery pot, not the plant’s total height or width.

Because every plant is naturally unique, height, fullness, leaf count, coloration, variegation, vine length, maturity, and overall shape may differ from the photographs.

Unless the product listing specifically states otherwise, plants arrive in a standard nursery grow pot. Decorative planters, baskets, saucers, stands, and other accessories are sold separately.

When will my plant ship or be delivered?

Please allow approximately 10–15 business days for processing and preparation. Ten business days is the earliest end of the range, and many orders require most or all of the stated processing window.

Processing time is separate from carrier transit time. Local NYC delivery also requires preparation and does not automatically mean same-day or next-day service.

Orders may occasionally require additional time because of plant availability, order volume, weather, seasonal demand, or courier coordination. We will send an update when confirmed fulfillment, tracking, or delivery information becomes available.

How are live plants packaged?

Each live plant is inspected and packed according to its size, shape, and shipping needs. Soil and foliage may be secured to reduce movement during transit, and protective materials may be added when appropriate.

Temporary drooping, shifted soil, limited leaf loss, or minor cosmetic stress can occur while a plant adjusts after shipping. This does not necessarily mean the plant is unhealthy.

What should I do when my plant arrives?

Unpack the plant promptly and carefully remove all protective packaging. Place it in appropriate light and allow it time to adjust to its new environment.

Check the soil before watering. Do not water automatically upon arrival because the plant may already have adequate moisture. Avoid immediately fertilizing, heavily pruning, or repeatedly moving the plant while it acclimates.

Should I repot my plant immediately?

We generally recommend allowing a newly delivered plant time to acclimate before repotting unless there is an urgent plant-health reason to do so.

Repotting an eligible small plant during the first 15 days may void the Plant Health Guarantee because it can make the cause of decline difficult to determine.

What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?

Report shipping or delivery damage within 48 hours. Keep the plant and all packaging while the concern is being reviewed.

Please provide your order number, a photograph of the entire plant, close-up photographs of the concern, and photographs of the box and packaging when applicable.

Small plants in nursery pots measuring 8 inches and below may also qualify for our 15-Day Plant Health Guarantee. Large plants in nursery pots measuring 10 inches and above have a 48-hour inspection and reporting window.

Review our Refund & Returns Policy for complete eligibility and documentation requirements.
