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 Super Golden is a golden variegated form of Monstera deliciosa, the same species behind our classic green Swiss Cheese Plant, but a different plant to look at entirely. Leaves carry patches, blocks, or a half moon split of golden yellow against deep green, on the same split leaf foliage that makes Monstera deliciosa a houseplant icon.
The variegation comes from a spontaneous mutation rather than something a grower can breed for, which keeps stably variegated plants scarce and priced above the plain green species. Give it brighter light than a plain Monstera to support the paler tissue. See our full houseplant collection for more statement foliage, and read our guide on bringing the garden indoors for placement ideas.
Arrives in a 6 inch nursery pot, ready to grow. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.
Planting & Care
Light
Bright, indirect light, brighter than a plain green Monstera deliciosa needs. The golden tissue has less chlorophyll, so it needs more light to photosynthesize, and too little light can push the plant to produce more solid green growth. Too much direct sun can scorch the paler leaf tissue, which is more photosensitive.
Water
Water thoroughly, then let the top quarter to third of the soil dry out before watering again. Cut back in winter and never let the pot sit in standing water.
Humidity and Temperature
Average household humidity works, though it is happiest at 50 percent or higher. Keep it above 60 degrees Fahrenheit and away from cold drafts and heat vents.
Soil and Feeding
Plant in a moist but well draining mix rich in organic matter, such as a quality aroid or peat based potting mix. Feed monthly through spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer, and skip feeding in fall and winter.
Support and Variegation
Give it a moss pole or trellis to climb as it matures. Sources disagree on how stable the gold variegation is over time; bright, consistent light is the most commonly recommended way to help maintain it, though it should not be promised to never change.
Pets
Keep out of reach of cats and dogs. Like the plain green species, it contains insoluble calcium oxalates that irritate the mouth and stomach if chewed.

Is Monstera Super Golden the same species as the regular Monstera Deliciosa Swiss Cheese Plant?
Yes, botanically it is the same species, Monstera deliciosa. The difference is that this plant carries a golden yellow variegation sold under trade names like Aurea, while the standard listing is solid green.
Why is Monstera Super Golden more expensive or harder to find than a regular Monstera?
The golden variegation arises from a spontaneous, naturally occurring mutation rather than something a grower can reliably breed for, which makes stably variegated plants rarer and more labor intensive to propagate.
Will the gold variegation on my Monstera fade or turn green over time?
Sources disagree on this point for this specific selection. Bright, consistent indirect light is the most commonly recommended way to help maintain variegation, but it should not be promised to never change.
Is Monstera Super Golden toxic to pets?
Yes. It carries the same calcium oxalate toxicity as any Monstera deliciosa; the variegation does not change the plant's toxicity.
Does Monstera Super Golden need different light than a regular Monstera?
Yes, brighter indirect light is recommended. Variegated leaf tissue has less chlorophyll, so it needs more light to photosynthesize effectively, and too little light can cause the plant to produce more solid green growth.
