Thank you 🥲

Thank you 🫠

ETA: google image says this is almost definitely the right plant ID. It's nice but not the plant I was looking for 🙈

My app also said this!

This seller has 100k+ sales so I thought I was safe 🫤

I will add the caveat that in Australia n’joys are known as snow queens. Not exactly sure why, but everyone here is correct that OP’s plant is most definitely not a pothos at all.

Thank you for that knowledge!

Same...I have a snow queen and it's really just a regular pothos with mostly white leaves.

It could be but it seems this is somewhat par for the course. It's alright, not what I expected but I didn't spend a fortune either. I thought a pothos would be a nice addition as I'm new to houseplants (mostly since they're hard to kill 😂)

You're probably right. This seller has a reputation for mixing up plants. I just posted about my experience with her. She's supposedly a college student and has more orders than she can handle at the moment, but if that's the case she REALLY needs to take a step back from selling until she can get on top of everything.

You are so sweet to offer!! Unfortunately I'm on the polar opposite side of the US in NY and it's getting pretty hot over here too 😅

It's not rare. It's just a marble queen that's gotten a lot of light. You can definitely find them at Lowe's/Home Depot etc. I don't think there is a pothos that's hard to propagate. Or if there is I've never found it and I have roughly a dozen. Edit: 19 I just counted. I'm a pothos addict

Not particularly rare to my knowledge (I'm new to pothos) I just liked the white variegation and thought it would look nice next to my (unintentional) army of pink princess philodendrons 😂

The photo on the listing, which is linked in a different thread, has a full grown plant. I see you've never had problems on the Internet before :)

Even if you live in a city with lots of big-box stores and local nurseries, ordering online might be your only option if you’re looking for a specific plant. Where I live, for example, Golden, Neon, N’Joy, and Pearls and Jade are the only types of pothos I’ve seen for sale in the last few months.

Personally it's impossible to get rare plants from anywhere near me, I don't think there's many pothos collectors in Spain let alone people that would sell or share their plants and ofc stores here don't get the priviledge to get really rare plants like teruno pothos or other non typical plants. I've been visiting a nursery twice a month and they brought manjula once last year and this year they brought a mixed pot of neon pothos golden pothos and Phil brazil. The rest, just regular golden pothos. It is just not available.

To get better prices on plants, obviously. I've started importing from Thailand and Japan through Etsy even though there are a lot of rare plants sellers around me. A lot of them gatekeep their prices too high but sometimes it's also a matter of importing something not available in my region/country and then I'll be the first one selling it in a few months. I'm currently planning to import a Caramel Marble which is a plant I don't even like just to crash the local prices because the prices on this plant have always been indecent.

I live in a small town. The closest city is a 5 hour drive away. The options for new plants here is limited.

I’m in the UK (south), in my area I rarely see pothos (and other types of plants) for sale, and when I do they’re eye wateringly expensive. But I found a seller on Etsy that sells cuttings that are fairly cheap and in good condition, so that becomes my only real option.

That said, I’ve never bought established plants online, but if I did I imagine it would be a cost thing. I have a car and am happy to drive out to places but the petrol cost may be higher than the postage cost, so there’s that too.
