I picked up this epipremnum pinatum marble earlier this year and quickly put it on a moss pole. After being on the pole just a few weeks, several leaves started losing their color and I could tell it did not like the new pole.
I removed it from the pool and let it grow out and now every leaf that comes out from that stem is mutated and beautiful. Probably going to keep shopping and propping everything that comes off that vine.
Is anyone ever had this happen to them?

Albo is inherently unstable. That being said, more light gives more variegation & less light gives more green, usually.
The pole probably didn’t have much to do with the change in variegation. Climbing moreso goes with fenestration
What’s mutated about it, sorry?? This looks like a bog standard EP marble (echoing the other commenter re: variegation instability) that is begging for something to climb again…!
That’s totally normal and not pole related at all. They’re kinda wonky sometimes, naturally. Still beautiful regardless.
Welcome to the “internet plant community”. Where we have open arms and then attack 😂🤣 I believe the motto is “anything but therapy”
Okay. You send that thing up a pole and it will fenestrate and get leaves up to 3 feet long. Doubt it in most “homes”. But epipremnum pinnatum is a great plant.
It’s been observed even on other marble plants like Epipremnum aureum “marble queen” and similar cultivars. I do not recall if anyone figured out the cause, but it is well documented that the marbles get more green when allowed to climb or reach bigger-sized leaves.
