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.

What is the Chinese Money plant Known For?
The Chinese Money Plant, or Pilea Peperomioides, is renowned for its unique coin-shaped leaves, which have led to it being considered a symbol of good fortune and financial prosperity. Its popularity is not only due to its charming appearance but also its ease of care, making it a beloved houseplant for both novices and experienced plant enthusiasts.
What Is the History of the Chinese Money plant?
The Chinese Money Plant hails from the Yunnan Province of China, where it was discovered by a Norwegian missionary in the early 20th century. It was then brought to Europe, where it became widely circulated among plant lovers through sharing of cuttings, rather than commercial horticulture, earning it the nickname "the friendship plant."
Where Does the Chinese Money plant Originate?
Originating from the mountainous regions of Southern China, the Chinese Money Plant thrives in a moist, temperate environment. It's accustomed to the dappled sunlight of forest floors, which is key to replicating in home settings for the plant to thrive.
Are Chinese Money plant Toxic to Pets?
Yes, the Chinese Money Plant is safe for pets. It's one of the few houseplants that are non-toxic to cats and dogs, so pet owners can breathe easy with this plant in their home. However, as with any non-toxic plant, it's still best to prevent pets from chewing on the leaves to avoid any potential upset.
