Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Cyathea plants thrive in high humidity, so consider misting the foliage or placing them in a humid environment for optimal growth.
How to Water
Water Cyathea plants regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Ensure consistent moisture, especially during hot weather, but avoid waterlogging. Mist the fronds occasionally to increase humidity.
How to Plant
Plant Cyathea in a shaded, moist location with well-draining, acidic soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and place the plant so the crown is level with the soil surface. Add organic matter to promote growth.
