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
Gardenias thrive in humid environments. To maintain humidity, consider misting the leaves or placing a humidifier nearby.
How to Water
Water Gardenias deeply and consistently, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Avoid overwatering, as they are sensitive to root rot. During dry spells, water more frequently but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
How to Plant
Plant Gardenias in well-draining, acidic soil with a slightly acidic pH. Choose a location with partial to full sun and dig a hole about twice the size of the root ball. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
