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.

    May not order anymore

    Ordered 5 plants but got only 4, (no note from seller about that missing plant) mentioned in the email not to deliver them until another week as wouldn’t be able to get it because of hospital appointments but got it delivered the same week, one of the plants is very bad in shape, elongated and unprofessional. Rest of the 3 plants are very good but not worth as only 3 of the 5 plants are good.

    I found a really good selection...

    I found a really good selection of plants to choose from on the site. Managed to find what I was specifically looking for and a few more that tempted me into buying as well. The plants arrived quickly, well packed and in perfect shape. All five are doing well and look great added to my collection. Absolutely thrilled with the experience and will be back again when I feel like I need more. Thanks
