Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Remove faded flowers and yellowing leaves to keep the display looking fresh and vibrant. Begonia Mocca varieties are prized for their deep foliage and vivid blooms—position them where their colours can be fully appreciated from eye level or above.
How to Water
Water regularly to keep the compost lightly moist but not soggy. Begonias dislike sitting in wet soil, so ensure baskets have good drainage. During hot weather, check moisture daily, especially if the plants are in full bloom and exposed to wind or sun.
How to Plant
Plant Begonia Mocca in fertile, free-draining compost in hanging baskets, window boxes, or containers. Choose a spot with partial shade or dappled sunlight to protect the rich foliage and blooms from scorching. Allow enough space between plants for airflow and cascading growth.
