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.
Monstera adansonii, commonly called the Swiss Cheese Vine, is a small, dainty trailing and climbing plant with oval leaves punctuated by round to oval holes. This is not the same plant as our larger Monstera Deliciosa Swiss Cheese Plant. Monstera adansonii stays compact at 3 to 8 feet with support, while Monstera deliciosa is a much bigger plant with broad leaves that split almost to the midrib rather than showing round holes.
Trained on a small moss pole or left to trail from a hanging basket or shelf, this wide leaf form shows off its fenestrations at a fraction of the footprint of its bigger cousin. See our full houseplant collection for more trailing and climbing varieties, and read our guide on bringing the garden indoors for placement ideas.
Arrives in a 4 inch nursery pot, ready to grow. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.
Planting & Care
Light
Bright, indirect light. It tolerates partial shade, but will hold its fenestrations best with consistent bright indirect exposure. Direct sun can scorch the leaves.
Water
Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil are dry. It likes consistently moist but well drained soil and does not tolerate sitting in water.
Humidity and Temperature
Prefers high humidity, so a humidifier or a pebble tray helps if your room runs dry. Keep it above 50 degrees Fahrenheit and away from cold drafts.
Soil and Feeding
Plant in a well draining, slightly acidic aroid mix with perlite or bark. Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer during the spring and summer growing season.
Support and Training
Give it a small moss pole to climb, or let it trail from a hanging basket or shelf. Either way it stays far more compact than Monstera deliciosa, typically 3 to 8 feet with support.
Pets
Keep out of reach of cats and dogs. Monstera adansonii contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that irritate the mouth, throat, and digestive tract if chewed.

Is Monstera Adansonii the same plant as the Swiss Cheese Plant, Monstera Deliciosa?
No. Both share the common name Swiss Cheese Plant in the houseplant trade, but they are different species. Monstera deliciosa is a large plant with deeply split leaves; Monstera adansonii is a smaller vining plant with round to oval holes, not deep splits.
How big does Monstera Adansonii get indoors?
Typically 3 to 8 feet with support and 1 to 3 feet wide. It is usually grown trailing in a hanging basket or trained to climb a small moss pole, staying far more compact than Monstera deliciosa.
Is Monstera Adansonii toxic to dogs and cats?
Yes. It contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, the same toxic mechanism documented across the Monstera genus, so keep it out of reach of pets and children.
What does 'Wide Form' mean on this Monstera Adansonii?
It is an informal nursery trade term describing a broader, rounder leaved variant of Monstera adansonii, as distinguished from the narrower leaf form sometimes marketed as Swiss Cheese Vine. It is not a formally registered cultivar name.
How much light does Monstera Adansonii need?
Bright, indirect light. It tolerates partial shade but grows best, and holds its fenestrations best, with consistent bright indirect exposure. Direct sun can scorch the leaves.
