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

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.
