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.

This beautiful, rare and easy-care Pilosocereus Azureus, more commonly known as the Blue Torch Cactus, is a well admired, flowering succulent known for its unique blue-green complexion and traditional Cacti appearance. These fascinating tropical cacti have their origins in the vibrant lands of Brazil, the Caribbean and Mexico, so make for excellent decorative pieces and conversation starters. You'll also find that as they grow and age, their incredible blue colours enhance and improve!
Please note height and stem count can differ to that photographed depending on the variety selected and natural factors from plant-to-plant.

Blue Torch Cactus ordered with other itemsGood condition and nicely packaged
The plants were very well packed, which is just as well as the delivery driver does not know what 'this way up' means. They were all in good condition with just 2 damaged 'tails' on the mousetails plant, which is much better than most online plants I have had delivered. The plants are all in good condition, although the soil was very dry. I was a bit disappointed with the size of the plants. I am not sure how you measure the height of the plants, but one I ordered was meant to be 20 - 30 cms, so I was expecting quite a tall plant. The only way it could be considered as anywhere near 20 - 30 cms is if you include the pot too, which as the pot is 10 cm tall and the total including the pot is only 21 cms, seems a little 'off' for a plant at £25 I believe is a little steep. Same goes for the other plants - 2 at 10 - 20 cms that are not near the 10 cm minimum unless the pot is included. I did hunt through the web page to try to find out how you measure the height, but could not find anything that tells you. Perhaps it needs to be made a lot clearer how you measure the height, as receiving a plant where the plant itself only measures 11 cm when you expected a plant at 20 - 30 cms, isn't right.

Perfectly packaged, no damage whatsoever. I waited a few days before repotting as suggested. They’re all now very happy indoors until the Spring when they can go out into the glasshouse to enjoy the sun and hopefully flower!
