Mack, an Epipremnum Marble Planet or Monstera Karstenianum Peru, is a relatively new variety of Epipremnum, Pothos, or Devil's Ivy, and he's closely related to Liz, our Marble Queen Pothos.
He's characterised by heavily veined leaves, with an almost rubbery, leather-like texture.
Mack's natural habitat is the forests of South-East Asia where he can be found climbing up tree trunks in lots of shade.
Mack, Epipremnum Marble Planet
Mack prefers indirect light to partial shade, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight wouldn’t go a miss.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
