Marble Queen Pothos
Epipremnum aureum 'Marble Queen'
A regular Pothos' more particular sibling - just as easy to keep alive, noticeably less forgiving about keeping its white marbling. Give it a bit more light than you would a plain Pothos and it holds its pattern well.

Best window: East or filtered South, within a metre of the glass.
This is the general recommendation. When you map your actual windows in Planterra, the app compares each one against this plant's lux range and tells you which of your specific spots are best - accounting for depth from the glass, obstructions, and how the light shifts by season.
What usually goes wrong.
Leaves coming in mostly or fully green
Reverting - the same issue variegated Monsteras face. The white sections carry little to no chlorophyll, so in low light the plant leans on all-green growth to keep producing energy. Move it somewhere brighter; established green shoots rarely re-variegate, so trim them back once you've fixed the light.
Yellow leaves
Almost always overwatering. Check the top 2 cm of soil is dry before watering again, and make sure the pot actually drains.
Long, sparse, leggy vines
Needs more light and an occasional trim. Pothos vines stretch and space their leaves out when reaching for brighter conditions - pinching growing tips encourages fuller, bushier growth.
Brown, dry patches on the white sections
Direct sun scorch. The chlorophyll-free tissue burns faster than the green parts - bright indirect light is the ceiling, not a curtain-free south window.
If a vine keeps sending out solid-green leaves, send me a photo of where it's growing versus your other Pothos leaves - I'll tell you whether it's a light problem worth moving for, or just where that particular vine happens to sit.
