Epipremnum Aureum (Marble Queen)

• Originally from Southeast Asian rainforests, this tropical climber has become one of Australia's most beloved houseplants for its stunning variegation and easy care.
• Heart-shaped leaves display unique cream and green marbling that varies on each leaf, creating a living piece of natural art.
• Fast-growing trailing vines can reach 2-3 metres indoors, perfect for hanging baskets or training up moss poles and trellises.
• Highly effective air purifier that removes formaldehyde, benzene and other indoor pollutants while adding humidity to dry Australian homes.
• Propagates easily from stem cuttings in water, making it perfect for sharing with friends and expanding your collection.

• Water weekly in summer, fortnightly in winter when top 2-3cm of soil feels dry to touch. Use filtered or rainwater to prevent brown leaf tips from chemicals.
• Position in bright, indirect light away from direct sunlight which burns variegated leaves. East or north-facing windows provide ideal conditions.
• Plant in well-draining potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark for aeration. Standard indoor plant mix works well with drainage amendments.
• Feed monthly during growing season with diluted liquid fertiliser at quarter strength. Reduce to every 6-8 weeks in winter months.
• Prune long vines to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth from nodes. Clean cuts promote healthy regrowth and prevent disease.
• Increase humidity with pebble trays or grouping plants together, especially during dry Australian winters with heating systems running.
• Provide moss poles or trellises for climbing support to develop larger, more mature leaf forms naturally.

• Provide bright, indirect light near east or north-facing windows - direct sun will scorch the delicate variegated leaves. Rotate weekly for even growth patterns.
• Water when top 2-3cm of soil feels dry, typically weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter. Empty saucers after 30 minutes to prevent waterlogging.
• Maintain humidity levels between 40-60% using pebble trays or grouping with other plants. Mist surrounding air, not leaves directly.
• Keep temperatures between 18-26°C year-round and protect from cold drafts and heating vents. Growth slows significantly below 15°C.
• Reduce watering and feeding during winter months when growth naturally slows down. Resume regular care in spring when new growth appears.

• Overwatering causes yellowing leaves and root rot - ensure soil dries between waterings and improve drainage immediately. Check roots for black, mushy sections and trim if necessary.
• Spider mites appear as tiny webs under leaves in dry conditions - increase humidity and spray with neem oil weekly. Wipe leaves regularly to prevent infestations.
• Scale insects look like brown bumps on stems and leaves - remove manually with rubbing alcohol on cotton swabs. Apply horticultural oil spray for severe infestations.
• Brown leaf tips indicate low humidity or fluorinated water - use filtered water and place on pebble trays. Trim damaged tips with clean scissors.
