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.
  • 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.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Care Guide

These lovely Asplenium plants - more commonly known as the Bird's Nest Fern - are a joy to care for, and great for beginners too! Simply place yours in a warm spot with lots of bright, indirect sunlight, and water every 1 - 2 weeks over Summer / once the soil fully dries in Autumn/Winter. It'll ideally love a kitchen or bathroom best due to its natural preference for humidity, but can be placed elsewhere with some misting. Feed once per month over Spring/Summer, repot with well draining soil.

Light & Water Requirements

I have High water requirements and I am Happy in both light & shade.

    Excellent informative (and tempting!) website which offers large amount of choice and size of house plants etc, far greater than could be expected to find at a garden centre. Ordering process was quick and easy. Plants arrived in excellent condition within couple of days, safely and securely tucked up in their box. Have used Houseplant UK previously and will again in the future when adding to my house jungle so have no hesitation in recommending.

    I purchased 4 houseplants from this company. On the plus side the plants arrived quickly but one in particular showed signs of damage/disease. I complained and the customer service team offered me a voucher but it was for less than the value of the plant. Despite following care instructions and cutting off the dead leaves the plant eventually died. Another plant purchased from them is also slowly dying. I wouldn’t purchase any plants from this company again as their customer service isn’t up to scratch and the quality of the plants / survival rates when compared to other delivery options isn’t as good
