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.

Collapsible content
What is the Coffee Plant Arabica Known For?
The Coffee Plant Arabica, with the scientific name Coffea Rubiaceae Arabica, isn't just for show; it can actually produce coffee beans! As the most well-known species for commercial coffee production, owning an Arabica coffee plant offers you the unique opportunity to grow your own coffee right at home. The lush green foliage and delicate white flowers are added bonuses, making it a rewarding houseplant to nurture.
What Is the History of the Coffee Plant Arabica?
The Arabica coffee plant has a storied history. Originating in the highlands of Ethiopia, it is believed to be the first species of coffee to be cultivated. By the 7th century, it had spread to Yemen and subsequently to the Arabian Peninsula, becoming a staple in Arabic culture. Arabica coffee was later introduced to Europe and other parts of the world, where it remains the most widely consumed coffee species today.
Where Does the Coffee Plant Arabica Originate?
The Coffee Plant Arabica originates from the high-altitude regions of Ethiopia. It prefers cooler temperatures and higher elevations compared to other coffee species, which is why it's commonly grown on mountain slopes in various parts of the world. Its original habitat gives clues to its preferred growing conditions: indirect sunlight and well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH.
Are Coffee Plant Arabica Toxic to Pets?
It's important to note that the Coffee Plant Arabica is toxic to both cats and dogs. The caffeine content in the leaves and beans can lead to symptoms like vomiting, diarrhoea, and in severe cases, an elevated heart rate. If you have pets, it's advisable to keep this plant out of their reach to avoid any accidental ingestion.

I ordered baby rubber plant peperomia, Marble queen pothos and Manjula pothos. I am amazed at rubber plant because it’s of huge size of upto 20cms including a pot sized 12cms. Bushy and so freshly looking leaves. Marble queen firs excellent for my book shelf. The way these plants have been packed with mulch covering the soil to avoid dryness or soil spilling during Transport shows so much care being taken towards plants as well as the customer. Also I ordered on Monday and plants shipped out on Tuesday and I received plants on Wednesday. I was able to check our courier status throughout in the SHOP app. Thanks so much HousePlants team. I am going to order few more.
