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
Fuchsias thrive in cooler temperatures and partial shade. Avoid placing them in full sun, which can scorch their delicate leaves.
How to Water
Water Fuchsia regularly to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. During hot weather, they may need extra water. Be cautious of overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage to prevent standing water around the roots.
How to Plant
Plant Fuchsia in well-draining, slightly acidic soil in a partially shaded spot. Dig a hole large enough for the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil, ensuring the crown is level with the surface. Space plants 30-45cm apart for air circulation.
