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.

Perfect for beginners and those looking to decorate on the smaller scale, these exciting Red 'Hen & Chicks' succulent plants (also known as Sempervivum Arachnoidum) are ideal for adding a tropical touch to your spaces with their distinct fleshy rosette of red outer leaves and evergreen central ones. They need very little attention to thrive so are ideal just about anywhere around your home and office, and they get their distinct name due to their ability to produce 'chick' offsets around the primary 'hen' plant mother. Excellent for gifting too, it's hard to go wrong with this stunning, conversation-starting, must-have variety!

Please note decorative pots are sold separately and your plant may naturally vary in appearance to that shown as each one grows differently - just like us.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Hen & Chicks | Red Care Guide

Caring for your Hen & Chicks houseplant is a fun, fascinating process! Simply place yours in a warm, bright spot and allow its potting mix to fully dry between drinks. Avoid repotting on arrival to minimise root stress, but consider this once roots begin poking out of its nursery pot drainage holes. Feed once per month from Spring to Autumn for a development boost, and ensure ample sunlight is provided for the most vibrant foliage colours posible.
