Houseplant Size Guide
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.
- All of our plants, unless otherwise stated are supplied in a nursery pot with the exception of air plants or lucky bamboo or otherwise listed in the product description.

Collapsible content
What is the Aloe Vera Known For?
Aloe Vera is best known for its gel-filled leaves that have been used for centuries for their soothing, healing, and hydrating properties. It's a staple in skin care and alternative medicine due to its potent anti-inflammatory and regenerative qualities.
What Is the History of the Aloe Vera?
Historically, Aloe Vera has been used as a medicinal plant since ancient times, with evidence of its use by the Sumerians and Egyptians, who called it the "plant of immortality." It has a long-standing tradition in herbal remedies and has been depicted in ancient carvings and writings.
Where Does the Aloe Vera Originate?
Aloe Vera is believed to originate from the Arabian Peninsula, but due to its ease of cultivation and popularity, it now grows in sunny climates worldwide, from Africa to the Mediterranean, and in many homes in the UK as a houseplant.
Are Aloe Vera Toxic to Pets?
Aloe Vera is not safe for pets if ingested. The gel is commonly used for topical applications, but the plant's leaves contain aloin, which can be toxic to cats and dogs if consumed.

I ordered a weeping fig and a spider plant. They arrived promptly and safely. I am delighted with my purchase. Highly recommend.
Truly amazing my plants arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The plants, four of them, had all been careful packed to protect their leaves and branches.
We are delighted with the ficus, delivered in good condition and it’s a nice shape.
All Good! Great little plants to add to a growing collection, look healthy, arrived as promised! What’s not to love ❤️
This is the 2nd time I have sent gifts using this service. Everyone was delighted with the quality of the plants and pot. The delivery was just as required with a time slot.
Pleasant surprise. It is a first company which has thought about everything. Even securing a compost in a pot, wrapping in paper. Absolutely first class service.
Professional and efficient service, plants arrive promptly, well packaged and in pristine order, very healthy. Excellent value for money. Houseplant UK is the best online company I have found in this category.
Fast delivery and plants were beautifully and carefully packed. Have bought plants from HousePlants multiple times with a consistent experience. Amazing quality.

Aloe Vera ordered with other itemsCling film secured?!!
Received 3 plants in a box, too tightly packed in cling film so that the leaves of one plant were completely splayed and the other 2 were squashed into pots which were too small for the plants and secured with tightly packed cling film.?!!? I bought these 3 on the strength of previously buying a Yucca for myself and one as a birthday present for someone else. They were well packaged and in wonderful condition, healthy plants that are growing beautifully. Unfortunately the packaging of these 3 was over zealous with more thought going into squeezing them into a small space rather than the health of the plants. Have reported all 3 and given them some TLC. We'll see if they thrive in the future or completely fail. Watch this space!

Great plants and great service. Everything was packaged with care and I would say at least 95% of the packaging was recyclable. Would definitely buy from Houseplant again and definitely recommend them.

After spending almost an hour looking at and reading through all the different plants on the website, I finally decided on three fairly easy to care for plants. The website was easy to navigate with simple, yet clear instructions. Which is great for those us of who are novices. On arrival the plants were very carefully packaged and were beautiful. I would have given 5 stars had it not been for the Aloe Vera plant having already had a large section chopped off (photos will be added to this review). Even so, I would recommend this company to others and will use them again.
