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.

Excellent service. Very quick delivery of a plant I couldn't find in stock in many other places. Came incredibly well packaged so not damaged at all and plant recovered very fast when removed from packaging. Beautiful large plant I'm so pleased with it. I didn't know what to expect at first ordering a plant online as never done this before but so glad I did as its better quality than half the nurseries around here and for a great price. Will be ordering again.

After our cat had to go to a foster home while we were in a temporary place that didn't allow cats, his foster carer had an Areca Palm that he loved. As a welcome home present, we bought one to help him settle in. We love it as much as he does. The plant came well-packaged and with the pot we bought for it in the same box and packed in a way to protect both the pot and the plant, it arrived safely and very fast delivery. Thank you, as this plant has made our home more homely for us all.

Ordered the Palm and when it arrived it looked a little sad looking, quite a few yellow leaves and just generally unhappy. Packaging was good though. Emailed customer service with a picture and got back to me quickly with advice on care and offered a partial refund which was fair. It seems to be recovering now after following her advice, putting out some new shoots.
