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
Prune regularly to control growth and prevent it from becoming invasive, especially when grown near structures or trees.
How to Water
Water Hedera regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, water moderately, letting the soil dry slightly between watering. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Hedera in well-draining soil in partial to full shade, although it can tolerate sun with adequate moisture. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Space 30-45cm apart for ground cover. Mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds.
