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.
- All of our plants, unless otherwise stated are supplied in a nursery pot with the exception of air plants or lucky bamboo or otherwise listed in the product description.

Japanese Aralia | Castor Oil Plant ordered with other items1st time Houseplant buyer approval!
My purchase was so easy. I didn't know what I wanted to start with and after looking through several sites I found Houseplant.co.uk. I was able to browse the different types of Houseplants ie non toxic to pets and the level of care and maintenance just by clicking on the plant. It was so helpful I only intended to buy 1 plant and came away with 2 .

Japanese Aralia | Castor Oil Plant ordered with other itemsI don't buy houseplants anywhere else....
I don't buy houseplants anywhere else. Excellent quality and good value too. Customer service is exemplary. I love how carefully packed deliveries are and the environmentally aware attitude to packing. The new e-voucher is my official go-to suggestion for gifts now too.
