Houseplant Information
Houseplant Information
Your houseplant will come in a black plastic nursery pot. It will have holes at the bottom of the pot to allow for proper drainage when watered. We recommend changing the pot when your plant arrives if you plan to grow your plant indoors.
How We Ship Your Plants
Ordering live plants online should feel exciting, not stressful! We only ship healthy, well-rooted trees and plants!
Beware- not all plant nurseries are the same! Others can cut corners to save money:
- We never ship bareroot plants
- We never cut roots to fit into a small box
- We always ship plants with healthy, developed roots so they establish faster at your home
- We focus on plant health first- not minimizing shipping costs
A strong root system is the foundation for long-term success, and we believe your plant should arrive ready to thrive- not struggling to recover from shortcuts.
How we Select Your Plants
Once you place your order, our nursery team selects your plant and inspects it to make sure it meets our quality standards. Every plant we ship is chosen for:
- Strong health and vibrant foliage
- A well-developed root system
- Correct sizing based on your order
We take pride in sending plants that are ready to succeed when they arrive at your home. We try our best to exceed your expectations!
Once your plants are selected, we give them a drink of water before their journey. Then, we wrap each plant's roots up in a plastic bag, so that they do not dry out during shipping.
Carefully Packed & Protected
Live plants can’t be packed like ordinary boxes, so we do it differently.
Your plant is carefully secured inside a strong shipping box to protect it while traveling. Packaging may include:
- Support materials for stability
- Protection around the pot and roots
- Reinforced boxing for added protection
For larger trees, we use oversize boxes designed to safely accommodate the size and structure of your plant during shipping.
Sometimes, you will receive multiple plants inside a box. This is helpful because it can evenly distribute the weight throughout the box, which helps keeps the plants safe and secure throughout delivery.
Fast & Reliable with FedEx
Most Nationwide Plants orders ship with FedEx. Over the years, we’ve found FedEx to be the best carrier for live plants, especially larger items, because:
- They deliver quickest across the country
- They are the most gentle with live plants
- Faster transit means less plant stress
Once your order ships, we will email you tracking information so you can follow your delivery from our nursery to your doorstep.
We ship Monday through Friday. Most orders ship the next business day, unless you request a custom shipping date.
Multiple Nursery Locations
We ship from multiple locations across the country, including both the East Coast and West Coast. This allows us to:
- Deliver faster in more regions
- Reduce time in transit for your plants
- Ship large items more efficiently
How We Measure Your Trees
We measure tree height from the soil line, not including the pot.
That means when you order a 5-6 ft. tree, you’re getting a tree that is 5-6 ft. tall above the soil, not “including the container.” This gives you a good idea of what to expect when your trees arrive, and what they will look like when they are in the ground.
After Your Plants Arrive
It’s completely normal for a plant to look slightly different after shipping. Your plant has been traveling in a box, so you may notice:
- Minor leaf drop
- Soil that shifted slightly in the pot
- Temporary drooping from being in a darker environment
In most cases, your plant perks up quickly once it’s unboxed, watered (if needed), and placed in the proper environment.
Unboxing Your Plants
When your plants arrive, we recommend:
-
Open carefully (avoid cutting into foliage)
-
Remove all packing materials
-
Check soil moisture (If the soil feels dry, give it a thorough watering)
-
Let the plant recover (Give it a little fresh air after shipping)
If you ever have questions or concerns, we’re happy to help!
Our 30-Day Plant Promise
We stand behind every order we ship with our 30-Day Plant Promise.
If your plant dies within 30 days of delivery, we will replace it or refund it. We’ve found that if there are ever issues, they typically show up in the first 30 days- so this guarantee gives our customers real peace of mind.
If anything doesn’t look right, contact us and we’ll help you troubleshoot quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you ship bare-root plants?
No. We ship in soil with an established root system for the best success after delivery.
How fast will my order ship?
Most orders ship the next business day, unless you request a custom ship date.
Will my plant survive shipping?
Yes. Plants are resilient when packed correctly and shipped quickly. Our process is designed to protect your plant throughout transit.
What if my plant arrives droopy?
This is usually temporary from being in a dark box. Unbox promptly, check moisture, and allow time to adjust. If you’re concerned, reach out—we’re here to help.

Pothos ‘Marble Queen’ – The Stunning, Low-Maintenance Showstopper
If you’re looking for a houseplant that delivers striking variegation with almost no effort, Epipremnum aureum ‘Marble Queen’ is a perfect choice. This pothos variety is known for its creamy white and green marbled leaves, making it one of the most visually striking members of the pothos family. It thrives in a variety of light conditions, tolerates some neglect, and is an excellent air purifier. Whether you’re new to houseplants or have an established collection, ‘Marble Queen’ adds an elegant touch to any space.
What Makes ‘Marble Queen’ Different from Other Pothos?
Pothos plants are known for their adaptability and easygoing nature, but ‘Marble Queen’ stands out with its dramatic variegation. The leaves are heavily streaked with creamy white and green, sometimes appearing almost entirely white. Compared to the classic golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), ‘Marble Queen’ has a much slower growth rate due to the high amount of white in its foliage—less chlorophyll means less energy for growth.
Another close relative, ‘Snow Queen,’ has even more intense variegation with mostly white leaves, but ‘Marble Queen’ offers the perfect balance of white and green, making it easier to care for while still looking unique.
Why You’ll Love Pothos ‘Marble Queen’ in Your Home
- Gorgeous Variegation – Every leaf is different, creating a stunning marbled effect.
- Thrives in Low Light – While it prefers bright, indirect light, it can handle lower light levels better than most variegated plants.
- Air-Purifying Qualities – Like other pothos varieties, it helps remove toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from indoor air.
- Low-Maintenance & Hard to Kill – Forgives occasional neglect and adapts to a variety of conditions.
- Great for Hanging or Trailing – Works beautifully in hanging baskets, climbing up a moss pole, or trailing from a shelf.
- Easy to Propagate – Snip a cutting, place it in water, and watch new roots form—perfect for sharing with friends.
How to Train & Style Your ‘Marble Queen’
Pothos plants are natural climbers, meaning you can train them in different ways to suit your space:
- Trailing – Let the vines cascade from a hanging basket or shelf for a lush, flowing look.
- Climbing – Attach it to a moss pole or trellis for larger leaves and a more vertical display.
- Bushy Look – Prune regularly to encourage a fuller, more compact shape.
Tip: If your ‘Marble Queen’ gets too leggy, simply cut the vines back. It will grow new leaves from the nodes, creating a fuller plant.
Common Issues & How to Fix Them
Why Are the Leaves Losing Their Variegation?
- Too little light—move the plant to a brighter spot.
- Older growth naturally turns greener, but new leaves should still have strong marbling.
Why Are the Leaves Turning Yellow?
- Overwatering is the most common cause. Let the soil dry out before watering again.
- If the soil is constantly wet, check for root rot and trim off any mushy roots.
Why Are the Leaves Curling?
- Underwatering or very low humidity can cause leaf curling. Increase watering slightly or mist occasionally.
Fun Facts About Pothos ‘Marble Queen’
- It’s native to French Polynesia, where it grows as a climbing vine in tropical forests.
- In the wild, pothos can climb up trees and reach over 40 feet long. Indoors, it usually stays under 10 feet.
- Unlike many houseplants, pothos doesn’t flower indoors—it needs to be in its natural habitat to bloom.
- It’s one of the easiest plants to propagate—just snip a stem, place it in water, and watch roots grow.
Is It Pet-Friendly?
No. Epipremnum aureum is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. If you have curious pets, keep it on a high shelf or in a hanging basket out of reach.

Why Choose ‘Marble Queen’ Over Other Pothos Varieties?
If you love pothos but want something with extra personality, ‘Marble Queen’ is the perfect choice. Its bold white-and-green marbling makes it more visually striking than the standard golden pothos, but it’s just as easy to care for. Unlike neon pothos, which has bright yellow-green leaves, or jade pothos, which is solid green, ‘Marble Queen’ offers a beautiful contrast that instantly brightens any space.
Whether you want an elegant trailing plant, an easy-care climbing vine, or a conversation-starting centerpiece, this variety delivers. It’s a pothos with just the right amount of drama—without the high maintenance.
