25L+

The big boys! Trees and specimen plants. You'll need a hand carrying them, but wow — what a difference they make.

Julie's Tip

Bigger pots give you that great look straight away because the roots are already well developed. But don't overlook the smaller sizes, they're much kinder on the wallet, and with a bit of patience, they'll catch up! It all depends on how quickly you want results.

Understanding Plant Heights

On some of our plants, you can choose a height option. Here's what that measurement means.

Plant height measurement example showing 80cm from pot base to plant tip

The height we list is measured from the base of the pot to the tip of the plant — so you know exactly what you're getting.

For example, the plant shown here would be listed as 80cm high. This makes it easy to picture how it'll look in your space before it arrives!
