# Would like advice on my marble queen: have had her since mid December…

_Posted by Rossy on 2025-04-15_

Would like advice on my marble queen: have had her since mid December (2024) and I repotted it into this shallow container (it's in a plastic pot for easy watering). Anyway my question is; do I need to be concerned with the plant base being slightly above the soil (see pics)? It's just a mound of soil in the center. She has been growing beautifully, so I don't want to repot if it's not necessary as I've heard they can get transplant shock. Just rethinking if I might have picked too small a pot for it. TIA 🫶🏼

I wouldn’t worry about it as long as all your roots are covered good. This plant is a trailer anyway so if the roots to the root ball is covered it’s ok, or you could just add more soil around open spots to level up

You typically plant it at the same top soil level to keep the roots buried at the depth it was in the previous pot. Roots above the soil can die off and be reflected in vines/leaves dying off. Your planting is not doing poorly. So, I wouldn’t worry about it. 🪴🍀
