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.

The same variety, Green Gem Boxwood, in each container size. The measuring stick is marked in inches.
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 and most situations, including 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.
Philodendron Caramel Marble is a rare variegated philodendron for the collector who wants something nobody else has. Its glossy, arrow shaped leaves are marbled and splashed with butter yellow over green, and no two leaves come out the same.
Set it where you will see it every day: a desk, a shelf at eye level, or a plant stand in bright, indirect light that keeps the marbling strong. See our tropical plant care guide for more on growing tropicals indoors, or browse the full houseplant collection for a companion plant.
Arrives in a 4 inch nursery pot, ready to grow. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.
Planting & Care
Light
Give it bright, indirect light, which keeps the yellow marbling strong. Direct sun can scorch the pale parts of the leaf, and low light slows growth.
Water
Water thoroughly once the top inch or so of the potting mix has dried, and let the excess drain away. Keep it evenly moist but never soggy, since overwatering causes root rot.
Humidity and Temperature
It prefers higher humidity but adapts to average home humidity. Keep it between 65 and 85 degrees F and away from cold drafts.
Soil and Feeding
Plant in a moist, well drained potting mix rich in organic matter, such as a chunky aroid mix. Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer, and skip feeding in winter.
Repotting and Pruning
Repot in spring when the roots fill the pot. Trim any stem that loses its variegation back to a marbled leaf to keep the pattern going.
Pets
Keep out of reach of cats and dogs. Philodendrons contain calcium oxalate crystals that irritate the mouth and stomach if chewed, and the sap can irritate skin.

Why is every Philodendron Caramel Marble leaf different?
The yellow marbling is a variegation that varies from leaf to leaf, so each new leaf comes out with its own pattern of yellow and green.
How much light does Philodendron Caramel Marble need?
Bright, indirect light keeps the marbling strong. Keep it out of direct sun, which can scorch the pale parts of the leaf.
How often should I water Philodendron Caramel Marble?
Water thoroughly once the top inch or so of the mix has dried. Keep it evenly moist but never soggy, because overwatering leads to root rot.
Is Philodendron Caramel Marble safe for pets?
No. Like other philodendrons it contains calcium oxalate crystals that irritate the mouth and stomach of cats and dogs if chewed, so keep it out of their reach.
