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.
Syngonium Milk Confetti earns its name honestly, pink, white and mint green speckles scatter across every leaf like confetti, over a whiter, creamier base than related speckled Syngonium cultivars. Young plants show the classic arrowhead leaf shape, and as the plant matures and is given something to climb, the leaves lengthen and eventually take on a lobed, hand shaped form.
Left untrained it stays compact and shrubby, perfect for a small pot on a bright windowsill; give it a moss pole and it becomes a climber instead. For more easy houseplant picks see our guide to bringing the garden indoors, or browse the full houseplant collection.
Arrives in a 4 inch pot. Keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.
Planting & Care
Light
Bright indirect light indoors is best. Outdoors it tolerates dappled sun or partial shade, but full direct sun will burn or bleach the foliage.
Water
Keep the soil moist but well drained, watering again once the top inch or so has dried. Avoid letting the pot sit in standing water.
Humidity and Temperature
Appreciates higher humidity, though it adapts to average home conditions. Keep it above 60 degrees F and away from cold drafts.
Soil and Feeding
A chunky, well-draining aroid mix of bark, perlite and peat or coco coir works well. Feed monthly through spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer, and skip feeding in fall and winter.
Growth Habit
Left untrained, young plants stay shrubby and compact with simple arrowhead leaves. Give it a moss pole or similar support and it shifts to a climbing habit, with leaves that lengthen and eventually become lobed at maturity.
Pets
Keep out of reach of cats and dogs. Syngonium contains insoluble calcium oxalates that irritate the mouth and stomach if chewed.

It describes the leaf pattern: pink, white and mint green speckling scattered across the leaf like confetti, with a whiter, creamier overall look than related speckled Syngonium cultivars.
Is this the same as the patented Syngonium Confetti?
No. The patented Confetti cultivar has pink splashes over light green leaves. Milk Confetti is a visually distinct, whiter cultivar, and no plant patent specific to Milk Confetti has been found, so the two should not be treated as the same plant.
Is Syngonium Milk Confetti toxic to pets?
Yes. Syngonium podophyllum is documented as toxic to dogs and cats due to insoluble calcium oxalates, which cause oral irritation, drooling, and vomiting if chewed.
Will the leaf shape change as the plant grows?
Yes. Young plants show a simple arrowhead shape, maturing into longer, narrower leaves, and eventually, if given something to climb, developing lobed leaves with multiple leaflets.
Does it need to climb, or can it stay compact?
Either. Left untrained it stays shrubby and compact; given a moss pole or similar support it shifts to a vining, climbing habit.
