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
Sempervivum thrives in poor, dry soil with excellent drainage—perfect for rock gardens or containers. Avoid overwatering to prevent rot.
How to Water
Water Sempervivum sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. These plants are drought-tolerant and prefer dry conditions.
How to Plant
Plant Sempervivum in well-drained soil, ideally in a sunny or partially shaded spot. Dig a small hole, place the plant, and backfill with soil, ensuring the rosette sits just above the ground. Space plants apart to allow for growth.
