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.

Top Tip
Wear gloves when handling Euphorbia, as the sap can cause skin irritation.
How to Water
Water Euphorbia moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. They are drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent moisture during dry spells. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Euphorbia in well-draining soil in a sunny location. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and space them properly to allow air circulation.
