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.

Butterfly Orchid | Honeybee orderedUntrustworthy delivery, rotting plant
They went with DX Delivery for my orchid, and the courier gave it to a house ages away (not neighbours, 6 houses down) with an obviously wrong house number. When I found it 3 days later (delivered friday...) the leaves were okay, but the roots were completely rotten beyond salvaging: ive had to cut EVERY root off. That doesnt happen in 3 days either. Still waiting on further contact. Edit: i did get a full refund in the end, so not completely devastated.
