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.
