However as space is limited, I want to keep the width of the pot to 20cm. I'm going to use the jasmine as a creeper along the fence so I was wondering whether it would be more beneficial to buy a pot that is 20x80cm for plant growth or whether a 20x20cm would suffice? I'm not sure whether the extra length would make a difference or not? Thank you x Custom European Cabinets - Melbourne Kitchen Specialist PM for business details as website currently being updated!
