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.

RARE PLANT
You're lucky you found me!
A tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Philippines and South East Asia. Like all pitcher plants, it is carnivorous and uses its nectar to attract insects that drown in the pitcher and are digested by the plant.
Please note as a natural product pitcher count and appearance can vary plant-to-plant. During Winter, plants may arrive with fewer or no pitchers as part of their seasonal dormancy cycles.
At Houseplant.co.uk, we're proud to offer a fascinating selection of British-grown carnivorous plants that are perfectly suited to our climate. Our collection includes native species like Drosera (sundew) and hardy varieties such as Sarracenia (pitcher plant) Our Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) and Cape sundews (Drosera capensis) are excellent choices for beginners, offering both beauty and entertainment as they catch their prey. For optimal growth, ensure they receive full sun, use rainwater for watering, and maintain a well-draining acidic soil mix.
