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.

    Cannot fault Houseplant.co.uk, they kept me informed of when my order was dispatched and tracking details. When the plants arrived 24hrs after my order was placed they were so well packaged that they were in fantastic condition with no damage at all. Would definitely recommend them to my family and friends.

    I have yet to receive my plants because you use a courier that doesn't do the job he's paid to do. It's winter and my plants have been in a freezing cold van for two days & nights and I'm told they can't be delivered for another two days & nights. By the time my plants arrive they will be in a very poor state.

    I took a bit of a chance ordering from this company as I hadn't actually heard of them before. I've also had a real hit and miss experience ordering houseplants online in the past. But I couldn't have been happier. They were dispatched and delivered really quickly. They arrived really well packaged. Actually they were by far the best packaged plants I have ever received. The plants themselves were really healthy and came with good information. I also though the price point was really good and they had a good selection of plants. Will definitely be placing another order in the near future

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.
