Understanding Our Container Sizes
At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.
Container Sizes
Quart
Plant age: 6 months to 1 year Best for:Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.
#1 Container
Plant age: 1 to 2 years Best for:Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.
#2 Container
Plant age: 2 to 3 years Best for:Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.
#3 Container
Plant age: 3 to 4 years Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.
#5 Container and Larger
Plant age: 4 to 5+ years Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.
Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?
Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.
Root Pouch Containers
Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.
There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:
Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.
Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.
Hawaiian Pothos takes the familiar yellow and green splashed pattern of Golden Pothos and turns up the saturation, with a bolder, more vivid yellow running through every leaf. Growers in the trade often describe it as having larger leaves and a more vigorous habit than standard Golden Pothos, though it shares the same easy, low fuss care.
Arrives in a 6 inch hanging basket. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.
Planting & Care
Light
Hawaiian Pothos tolerates low light and will survive there, but bright indirect light is what keeps the yellow variegation bold. In low light new leaves come in smaller and less colorful.
Water
Let the potting medium dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly until it drains. Pothos would rather run a little dry than sit wet.
Humidity and Temperature
Average home humidity is fine. Keep it above 60 degrees F and away from cold drafts and heat vents.
Soil and Feeding
A well-draining mix with good organic content, such as peat, bark and perlite, works well. Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season.
Pruning and Propagation
Trim any vine back to just above a leaf node to keep the basket full. Cuttings root readily in water within a couple of weeks.
Pets
Keep out of reach of cats and dogs. Pothos contains insoluble calcium oxalates that irritate the mouth and stomach if chewed.

Is Hawaiian Pothos the same species as Golden Pothos?
Yes. Both are Epipremnum aureum. Hawaiian is a distinct cultivar within the same species, with a more saturated yellow variegation.
What makes Hawaiian Pothos different from Golden Pothos?
The yellow in Hawaiian's variegation reads bolder and more saturated. Growers in the trade also commonly describe it as having larger leaves and a more vigorous growth habit, though that specific comparison comes from nursery experience rather than a formal trial.
Is Hawaiian Pothos toxic to pets?
Yes. Epipremnum aureum is documented as toxic to dogs and cats due to insoluble calcium oxalates, which cause oral irritation, drooling, and vomiting if chewed. This applies to every cultivar of the species, including Hawaiian.
Does Hawaiian Pothos need bright light to keep its color?
It tolerates low light and survives there, but the yellow variegation stays boldest with brighter indirect light. Low light produces smaller, less colorful new leaves.
Can Hawaiian Pothos grow outdoors?
Only in frost free, tropical to near tropical climates. It is grown as a houseplant everywhere else.
