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.

The Apple Cactus Florida is celebrated for its striking, columnar structure and nocturnal white flowers that bloom under the cover of darkness. It's also known for the apple-like fruit it produces, which is edible and sweet.
What Is the History of the Apple Cactus Florida?
The Apple Cactus has its roots in South American desert landscapes, particularly in Florida. Historically, it has been cultivated not just for its ornamental qualities but also for its fruits, which have been a part of indigenous diets for centuries.

Caring for an Apple Cactus involves ensuring it has plenty of sunlight – it thrives in full sun conditions. It's drought-tolerant, requiring watering only when the soil has dried out completely. Avoid cold temperatures and frost, which can damage the plant.

Ordered x3 items,all came well protected and looked after,surviving the journey well. X2 we’re smaller than I expected but that’s my fault! X1 was much larger and had beautiful healthy flowers!look like they’re about ready to repot, with high quality soils and healthy looking roots. Would be perfect if there were some care cards (Ik you can look on the website but sometimes helpful to have a physical card!)

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.

The plants were good quality and packaged well, though the soil did come out of one pots a bit. It states if you order later on Thursday, which I did, the plants would be dispatched on the Monday. Mine arrived on the Monday, which I was not expecting so that means the plants must have been with the delivery company over the weekend. Luckily no damage done.
