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.

The Honeybee Orchid, also known as a Butterfly Orchid, are popular, dainty houseplants with a huge variety of striking colours and patterns. A common misconception is the level of care required by these popular flowering plants: they actually thrive best on a little healthy neglect. Colourful little flowers dot stems covering the plant in what looks like a swarm of colour, perfect for brightening up a space!
Please note decorative pots are sold separately and your orchid may vary naturally to that shown in structure, spike count and flower size. Initial bloom cycles may be shorter due to the change in environment, however blooms thereafter once acclimatised will offer far more longevity. Your orchid may experience some minor flower loss on arrival.

Houseplants UK has genuinely surpassed my expectations! Their plant selection is fantastic, offering a wonderful variety that has truly brought life to my home. The ordering process was incredibly straightforward, and my plants arrived promptly, packaged with such care that they were in perfect condition. I did have a minor concern with the orchid, which was a key item I needed, as it appeared a little droopy upon arrival. While it's still recovering, the customer service team was superb, providing clear and comprehensive advice that has been instrumental in its improvement. They really went the extra mile to ensure I had all the information needed to nurture my orchid back to health. The overall quality of the plants impressed me; each one was in excellent condition, clearly having been well-cared for. I'm genuinely delighted with my purchases from Houseplants UK and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to add some greenery to their space. Their commitment to quality and excellent service is evident, making them my go-to for houseplants.

Butterfly Orchid | Honeybee ordered with other itemsPlants arrived super quickly
Plants arrived super quickly. One in great condition but the other had very old, shrivelled pseudo bulbs and very few good roots. It does have signs of new growth though, so I’ll see how it develops. Packaging and delivery all good.
