Hedera Bottle Garden / Terrarium Plant | 6cm Pot

Great for spilling over the edges of seasonal pots and baskets. Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: humus-rich, preferably alkaline, moist, well-drained soil (or John Innes No.3 potting compost for container-grown plants) Rate of growth: fast-growing Hardiness: fully hardy Current height: approximately 12cm (+ or – 10% including the pot) Pot cover: choose a 7cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot A tough and adaptable plant, which when young, will look great in a bottle garden or terrarium. As it gets bigger it can be potted up and kept as a house plant, where it will help reduce indoor air pollution. Ultimately though it should be planted out in the garden, where this self-clinging evergreen climber can be used to cover ugly walls and fences – or provide a lush green carpet in the dry shady areas beneath shrubs and trees where little else will grow. It’s an excellent choice for the wildlife garden since it supports a wide range of native species – we did say it was adaptable! Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from. The plant may vary slightly from the photograph due to seasonal availability. Home care: Water specimens grown as houseplants regularly during the growing season, providing a balanced liquid fertiliser each month. Keep moist during the winter months. Plants may be pruned at any time of the year to keep within bounds.
