Understanding Our Container Sizes
At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.
Container Sizes
Quart
Plant age: 6 months to 1 year Best for:Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.
#1 Container
Plant age: 1 to 2 years Best for:Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.
#2 Container
Plant age: 2 to 3 years Best for:Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.
#3 Container
Plant age: 3 to 4 years Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.
#5 Container and Larger
Plant age: 4 to 5+ years Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.
Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?
Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.
Root Pouch Containers
Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.
There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:
Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.
Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.
Marble Queen Pothos is the most heavily variegated pothos in cultivation. Every heart shaped leaf comes marbled in creamy white and green, no two alike, and the vines spill several feet over the edge of a hanging basket within a season.
It tolerates low light better than almost any other houseplant, which is why it ends up in offices, bathrooms and north facing rooms where little else looks happy. Brighter indirect light keeps the white variegation strong, while deep shade pushes new growth back toward green. See our guide to bringing the garden indoors for more easy houseplant picks, or shop the rest of the houseplant collection.
Arrives in a 6 inch hanging basket. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.
Planting & Care
Light
Bright, indirect light keeps the creamy white marbling at its best. Marble Queen will survive in low light, but new leaves come in greener as it compensates for less chlorophyll bearing tissue.
Water
Check the soil before watering rather than watering on a fixed schedule. Once the top two to three inches have actually dried out, carry the pot to a sink, soak it thoroughly, and let it drain completely for about half an hour before returning it to its spot. Pothos would far rather run dry a little too long than sit in soggy soil.
Humidity and Temperature
Average home humidity is fine, though a humidifier or a pebble tray is appreciated. Keep temperatures above 60 degrees F and away from cold drafts and heat vents.
Soil and Feeding
Any well-draining houseplant mix works. Feed every other month during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer, and skip feeding in winter.
Pruning and Propagation
Trim any vine back to just above a leaf node to keep the basket full rather than leggy. Those cuttings root in a glass of water within a couple of weeks.
Pets
Keep out of reach of cats and dogs. Pothos contains insoluble calcium oxalates that irritate the mouth and stomach if chewed.

Not enough light. The white sections of the leaf have no chlorophyll, so in low light the plant produces greener leaves to compensate. Move it somewhere brighter, out of direct sun, and new growth will come back marbled.
How often should I water a Marble Queen Pothos?
Check the soil rather than watching the calendar. Once the top two to three inches have actually dried out, give it a thorough soak and let it drain fully. That usually works out to every one to two weeks, but let the soil tell you, not the clock.
Is Marble Queen Pothos toxic to pets?
Yes. It contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can cause oral irritation, drooling, and vomiting if chewed, so hang it well out of reach of cats and dogs.
How long do the vines get?
Several feet indoors in a hanging basket, and longer if you let them run. Trim back to just above a leaf node any time you want a fuller shape.
Can I grow Marble Queen Pothos outdoors?
Only in USDA zones 10 through 12, and only in shade. Everywhere else it is a houseplant that can spend summer outdoors in a shaded spot.
