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
Remove spent flower stalks from yucca plants to redirect energy into growth and maintain a tidy appearance. For older plants, prune dead or damaged leaves from the base to encourage healthy, new foliage.
How to Water
Water yucca sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it’s best to water deeply but infrequently. Established plants are drought-tolerant and need minimal water, while newly planted yuccas require regular watering until roots establish.
How to Plant
To plant yucca, choose a sunny spot with well-draining, sandy or gravelly soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and slightly deeper. Place the plant, backfill with soil, and firm gently. Water thoroughly after planting but allow the soil to dry between waterings. Space plants 60-90cm apart.
