Snow Queen Pothos - A Winter Wonderland in Your Home

At first glance, the Snow Queen Pothos may appear akin to its Marble Queen counterpart, but its extreme variegation sets it apart as a true gem in the Pothos family. While it craves a bit more light to compensate for the reduced green areas on its leaves, the care routine remains as easy as other Pothos varieties. One remarkable benefit of the Snow Queen is its naturally compact growth pattern, preventing the plant from becoming 'leggy' as its vines extend, ensuring a consistently lush appearance.
