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.

Learn More About Boston Fern
Collapsible content
What is the Boston Fern Known For?
The Boston Fern is best known for its lush, feather-like fronds that droop gracefully, creating a natural curtain of green. It's one of the most popular fern varieties for indoor settings and is celebrated for its air-purifying qualities.
What Is the History of the Boston Fern?
The Boston Fern has its roots in humid forests and swampy areas. Though originally a native of tropical and subtropical regions, it gained its name after becoming a popular decorative houseplant in Boston, Massachusetts, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Where Does the Boston Fern Originate?
The Boston Fern is native to tropical and subtropical regions in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. These ferns are well-adapted to humid conditions, which is why they make excellent houseplants for well-lit bathrooms or kitchens.
Are Boston Fern Toxic to Pets?
Good news for pet owners: Boston Ferns are non-toxic to both cats and dogs. This makes them an excellent choice for households with pets. However, it's always a good idea to keep any plant out of reach of curious pets to avoid any accidental ingestion or damage to the plant.

My 4 houseplants arrived in one large box. They were all looking healthy with glossy leaves. The pots were beautiful and well wrapped in bubble wrap. Only quibble: I thought I had ordered a hanging basket with strings, but the pot that arrived had no strings...perhaps I ordered the wrong thing on the site.

I had to replace the plants in my flat because I was getting a new dog and some weren't safe. The website clearly shows safe plants to make things easy when browsing. When they came they were beautiful, in great condition, well wrapped and they were delivered within 2 days. I'd definitely use Houseplant again.

Boston Fern | Green Moment ordered with other itemsHealthy Plants
Not having access to a car everyday I couldn't wait to purchase a few plants to add to my collection/hobby. To scratch that itch I thought I'd take a chance and looked online. Came across House Plant on a Google search. Seeing a lot of good reviews, and coming across a rare cactus, I placed my order for 3 plants and a pot. The plants were so well packaged, no damage and no spillages. Plants are very healthy. Used a great courier service too and the package was with me 48 hrs after submitting my order. I love the added touch of giving you the care instructions for each plant on the email receipt that you can print off. Very happy and will use again. Highly recommend.

Great experience and an amazing selection of plants to select from. Delivery was also spot on and the plants were well wrapped/covered. The only critism is that some of the plants weren't in the best condition with regards to being trimmed and a good shape, specifically a Monkey Mask and a Boston Fern. Personally I put this down to pick of the bunch but depends what plants you get. Overall, great experience and amazing additions to the house, will be buying again for sure.
