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 Parthenocissus in late winter to control its growth and keep it from overtaking other plants or structures.
How to Water
Water Parthenocissus regularly during the growing season to keep the soil moist. Once established, it can tolerate some drought, but ensure deep watering during dry spells. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
Plant Parthenocissus in well-draining soil, preferably in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Provide support like a trellis or wall for the vines to climb.
