Just bought my first plant/tree today!

Hi everyone, this is my first post in this part of the forum!

Bought my first plant today ever - recently moved my two recycling bins from the front of my house and have been left with some empty space by the door so today I bought a tidy-sized pot and a small fir tree to go in it! It is a "chamecyparis lawsoniana" or "Ellwood's Empire" - according to the label!

Drilled some holes in the bottom of the pot and filled it with some gravel and two £1.50 grow bags from Asda - this is my first ever experience trying to grow/look after a potted plant so I'll see how it goes! :rotfl:

    The first thing i ever planted is still alive 15 years later, but most things i try to grow in pots die LOL
    Hopefully it will be the start of a new hobby for you
