Re: Info on Epipremnum spp.

From: Denis denis at skg.com> on 2001.07.06 at 04:49:48(6962) Derek: Culturally the Marble Queen and Jade are distinctly differtent from the Golden form and do not tolerate as much light as the latter. It may be as simple as a single yellow leaf pigment missing from the Jade and Marble Queen forms. I think all of them would have same mature size leaf if given proper light and fertilizer. The magnesium requirement is higher on the Jade form. A trait I always attributed this to the higher volume of green pigment per leaf in Jade as opposed to the variegated area totally lacking pigment or containing just yellow pigment in the variegated forms. +More Derek Burch wrote: > > As a rather prosaic sidelight on the epipremnums: I have always felt that > the leaves of Marble Queen and Jade (and these two do revert and switch > backwards and forwards with one another but never to the yellow variegation) > are quite different from those of the golden form.
