A close relative to Rapunzel the devil’s ivy and Lizzie the ‘Marble Queen’ pothos, the ‘Marble Plant’ is a new member of the epipremnum gang. Its glossy marble-veined leaves will happily trail from a shelf or climb up a moss pole or trellis, it’s up to you.
Like its pothos relations, ‘Marble Planet’ is very easy to look after. It’ll survive in most light conditions and doesn’t mind the occasional missed watering. The more attentive you are, the quicker it will grow. Encourage bushier growth by giving your ‘Marble Planet’ a haircut every now and then, and feed it with a diluted fertiliser once a month in spring and summer. Wipe the leaves every so often or pop your ‘Marble Planet’ in a cold shower to give it a good drench and rinse off any dust.

Mabel doesn’t actually exist in the wild, they’re a weird and wonderful greenhouse creation, especially developed by plant breeders.
