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.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Rainbow Bush | Green Care Guide

These Midstripes are straight-forward and enjoyable to care for! Simply place in a bright spot with moderate/high temperatures (preferably in the 18°C to 25°C range), and allow it to fully dry between drinks. Avoid watering in the Winter as this is their dormancy period where they won't need it - and any stems/leaves that come out of the soil of their own accord or when moving environments can simply be replanted back in to continue thriving cheerfully.
