20 - 30cm Marble Queen Pothos Epipremnum House Plant 23cm Bowl

🌿 Epipremnum aureum ‘Marble Queen’ in Bowl Pot — Marble Queen Pothos

Epipremnum aureum ‘Marble Queen’, known as the Marble Queen Pothos, is a stunning and easy-care trailing houseplant admired for its heavily variegated, heart-shaped leaves splashed with creamy white and soft green. This cultivar is one of the most decorative of the Pothos family, offering a brighter and more patterned look than the classic green variety. When grown in a wide, shallow bowl pot, the Marble Queen becomes a lush, cascading centrepiece — perfect for shelves, coffee tables, dining centres, and consoles. Its compact, flowing form makes it ideal for softening hard surfaces and bringing a touch of nature into stylish living spaces. Hardy, forgiving, and air-purifying, it’s a favourite for both beginners and collectors.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Indoors: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Variegation is strongest in brighter conditions.

• Low light: Tolerated, but leaves may lose their creamy colour and turn greener.

• Direct sun: Avoid harsh sunlight, which may scorch the white areas of the foliage.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temperature: 18–26°C (65–79°F)

• Minimum temperature: Keep above 13°C (55°F)

• Humidity: Adaptable to most indoor humidity levels. Appreciates a little extra humidity in drier rooms.

💧 Watering Needs

• Watering frequency: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid letting it sit in water, especially in shallow bowls.

• Winter: Reduce watering slightly as growth slows.

• Tip: In a bowl pot, ensure excellent drainage to prevent water pooling at the base.

🪴 Soil & Container Notes

• Soil type: Use a well-draining mix — standard houseplant compost blended with perlite or fine orchid bark.

• Pot type: Best grown in a large, wide bowl pot to allow stems to trail over the edges beautifully.

• Drainage: Ensure bowl has drainage holes or use a cachepot with a nursery liner to avoid waterlogging.

🌱 Feeding

• Growing season (spring–summer): Feed every 4–6 weeks with a diluted balanced liquid fertiliser.

• Autumn–winter: Feed every 6–8 weeks or pause if plant slows down.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Pruning: Trim trailing stems as needed to control length and promote bushier growth.

• Shaping: Regular pinching encourages a denser form, ideal for bowl displays.

• Leaf care: Wipe gently with a soft cloth to keep the variegation vibrant.

🌾 Propagation

• Stem cuttings: Incredibly easy to propagate in water or moist compost. Just snip below a node and root in a small vase or propagation station.

🐛 Pests & Problems

• Common pests: Mealybugs, spider mites, and fungus gnats in overly wet soil.

• Symptoms: Yellowing leaves (overwatering), browning tips (dryness), or sticky residue (pests).

• Treatment: Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap and adjust watering routine.

🧤 Toxicity & Safety

• Toxicity: Toxic if ingested by pets or humans. Contains calcium oxalates which may cause irritation.

• Precaution: Keep out of reach of pets and small children.

🏡 Decor Use & Styling Tips

• Perfect for wide, shallow bowl pots placed on:

  • Dining or coffee tables as a natural centrepiece

  • Shelves or consoles to let vines cascade gracefully

  • Reception desks or countertops in offices and retail spaces

• Style with natural or white ceramics to highlight the leaf marbling.

• A versatile design plant that softens modern interiors while adding gentle colour and movement.
