Name: Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Marble’ Variegata
Etymology: The genus name Epipremnum literally means "growing on a trunk," referring to its climbing habit. The specific epithet pinnatum describes the deeply divided leaf blades of mature plants. ‘Marble’ denotes the marbled variegation of this selection.
Origin/Distribution: The species Epipremnum pinnatum is native to tropical regions of Asia and the western Pacific. ‘Marble’ Variegata is a horticultural selection.
Location/Habitat: A climbing aroid of warm, humid tropical forests. In cultivation, it prefers temperatures around 20–28 °C, high humidity, and bright, indirect light.
Description and Notes: This selection features green leaves with irregular light marbling. As the plant matures and is provided with a sturdy climbing support, the leaves become larger and can become increasingly divided. Use a coarse, airy aroid substrate, keep evenly slightly moist, and avoid waterlogging. Bright light encourages the variegation, but direct midday sun can damage the light areas of the leaves.
