Houseplant Size Guide

Plant height measurement: How we measure the height of our houseplants from pot to top

At Houseplant.co.uk, we want to ensure that you choose the perfect plant for your space. Here's how we measure our plants:

Plant Height:

Measured from the base of the nursery pot to the top of the plant, including the full length of the stem and foliage.

Pot Size:

Refers to the total width across the top of the pot.

Choosing the Right Size

To find the perfect fit, compare the diameter of your plant's grow pot to the opening diameter of your chosen decorative pot. Ensure the decorative pot is at least 1-3cm larger in diameter than the grow pot for easy insertion and removal.

Important Notes

  • Plant sizes are approximate and include the depth of the plant pot and roots, not just the height from the top of the soil.
  • If a specific plant size is not available, we may provide a larger plant at no additional cost to you.

This Ficus is one of the most undemanding plants we have in our range. Whilst it's rich glossy leaves are native to tropical Africa - it will tolerate all levels of light or lack of light. An ideal plant for a slightly, neglectful plant-parent - or if you're frequently away for a few weeks at a time. Coping well with temperature changes too, this truly is a great all-rounder.

African Fig Tree Care Guide

We're pretty sure this is an un-killable plant! Whilst all plants thrive on a regular and consistent level of care - this one will forgive you for mishaps galore. A bi-weekly watering is typically favourable, with a reduction in colder months to ensure it doesn't get too soggy.
