But beyond their beginner-friendly charm, they come in a wide range of colors and patterns. Here are 10 stunning pothos varieties that will elevate your indoor jungle and suit every kind of plant parent.

The Marble Queen is a stunning variety featuring creamy-white and green marbled leaves. Its high variegation gives it a luminous look, making it a standout in neutral or minimalist décor.

If you love plants that make a statement, Neon Pothos is for you. Its electrifying lime-green foliage adds a pop of color to even the darkest corners.
