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.

    Terrible delivery partner

    Less to do with the plants and more concern with the delivery service. I've taken two full days to sit at home and wait because they keep pushing it back at the end of the day the delivery is due. No customer service from delivery service whatsoever. Spent over 100 pounds just to feel like i'm waiting around with no direction. Houseplant may not be directly responsible for the shipping company but as the company they've chosen to work with affects their user experience, I think they can do better.

    Good selection and pricing and quick delivery. Usually very good service. I have had occasional plants that did not survive long after delivery and I think it would be better for them to be acclimatised a bit more before dispatch to the customer

    Excellent!

    I have bought many plants online before from other suppliers this is the best packaging! Each item was carefully wrapped with 3-4 layers of material. Plants arrived in excellent condition. It was like opening Christmas presents! I was excited about the Rescue Me! Orchid box! as I love rescuing orchids and can't wait to see if they will flower for me!

    Terrible company, totally deceived with the size of the plants they were sending. Most were close to half the size that I had paid for. Emailed for support and a week later no reply. I have had 4 separate promotional emails since then and one asking for a review, so here you are. Really bad value, can get stuff much healthier and larger for the same money in the supermarket or at a market. Attached a photo if the plant they sent (small one) next to one I already had that was the size that they were supposed to send.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Fishbone Cactus Care Guide

Caring for your fresh new Fishbone Cactus is a breeze! Simply pop yours in a bright, warm spot and water once the soil fully dries, ideally with lukewarm rain, distilled or filtered water. Repot once roots begin poking out of its drainage holes with well draining succulent soil, and feed once per month over Spring/Summer for a development boost.

Avoid using tap water where possible - especially in Hard Water areas - to ensure the cleanest drinking experience.
