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.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Butterfly Orchid | Surprise Baby Care Guide

Oncidium orchids require a little more water than moth orchids - needing the soil to be kept evenly moist, whilst allowing the top third of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering over the winter whilst it is in it's dormancy period. Feed when showing active new leaf or bud growth. Avoid draughty spots.

    I have ordered here a few...

    I have ordered here a few times as they seem to have orchids which you cant quite find anywhere else at times! Really good stock! I have had a few issues with the plants I have ordered. For example I ordered 3 mystery orchids and they were all phals and they didnt really make it through transport so each died within 1-3 days. A few days ago I ordered one of their jewel orchids which only had two parts growing rather than the 3/4 in the images they showed on their website. I am aware there must be a lot of variablity as I ordered an oncidium and this had sgnificantly more pseudobulbs than their images provided (well impressed!), so take that in mind when ordering from here. Very receptive customer service whenever I emailed them about my concerns, thus would recommend them and would buy again. Just be aware of the variability and that fragile plants may indeed get damaged like orchids at times.
