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.
Spider Plant Curly takes the classic spider plant and gives every leaf a twist. Instead of the straight, strappy blades most people picture, this cultivar's solid green leaves curl and ripple along their length, giving the whole plant a looser, more textured look.
Set it on a shelf as a tabletop plant or hang it where the curling leaves can catch the light from every angle. It is one of the few common houseplants that is genuinely pet safe, so it works well in homes with curious cats and dogs. For more pet friendly houseplant ideas see our guide to bringing the garden indoors, or browse the full houseplant collection.
Choose your size at checkout, a 6 inch potted plant or an 8 inch hanging basket.
Planting & Care
Light
Prefers medium light and tolerates deep shade, but is intolerant of direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Water
Let the soil approach dryness between waterings; it is drought tolerant once established. Avoid tap water where possible, since chlorine and fluoride can cause brown leaf tips, and reduce watering further in winter.
Humidity and Temperature
Tolerates average home humidity. Keep it above 45 degrees F as a houseplant and bring it in before frost if it has spent the summer outdoors.
Soil and Feeding
Any well-draining potting mix with a neutral pH works well. Avoid overfeeding, which can reduce plantlet production.
Propagation
Long stolons produce baby plantlets that can be trimmed and rooted to make new plants, or left in place for a fuller look.
Pets
Non toxic to dogs and cats, making it one of the safer common houseplants for pet households.

Is Spider Plant Curly the same as a regular spider plant?
It is the same species, Chlorophytum comosum, but a different cultivar. This one has leaves that curl and twist, while the common straight leaf and striped forms have flat, strap shaped leaves.
Is Spider Plant Curly toxic to cats or dogs?
No. Chlorophytum comosum is documented as non toxic to dogs and cats, which makes this one of the safer common houseplant choices for pet owners.
How much light does it need?
Medium, bright indirect light is ideal, though it tolerates deep shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
How often should I water it?
Let the soil approach dryness between waterings; it is drought tolerant. Avoid tap water where possible, since chlorine and fluoride can cause brown leaf tips.
Does it produce baby plantlets like a regular spider plant?
Yes. It produces plantlets on long stolons that can be trimmed to start new plants, or left on for a fuller look.
