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.

    Lovely choice of cacti and pots. A beautiful collection of healthy plants arrived - REALLY well packed. Even though the big box was significantly dented on the top, the packaging inside ensured everything was fine.

    Good selection and pricing and quick delivery. Usually very good service. I have had occasional plants that did not survive long after delivery and I think it would be better for them to be acclimatised a bit more before dispatch to the customer

    Addicted to houseplants

    I have a problem. I’ve recently become obsessed with buying house plants and my husband purchased some from here for me as a surprise. I then went on to purchase even more for myself and I now have no more room and already planning which plants to buy next! I love them and I’m very happy with what we have bought. They arrived very well packaged and I’m so pleased it’s so easy to buy plants that aren’t at my local garden centres. Next stop plantaholics anonymous haha

    I found a really good selection of plants to choose from on the site. Managed to find what I was specifically looking for and a few more that tempted me into buying as well. The plants arrived quickly, well packed and in perfect shape. All five are doing well and look great added to my collection. Absolutely thrilled with the experience and will be back again when I feel like I need more. Thanks
