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.

These fun Monkey Mask plants are flowering aroid plants. In wild Central and South America they'll be found growing deep in the jungles and clinging onto tree trunks galore. You can also find them around the Caribbean Islands. These are great growers and you'll have long vines that you'll be able to 'chop and prop' before you know. They are hungry and like plentiful feeding - it'll be a bit like having a teenage boy in the house but with air-purifying qualities you'll love.

Please note the 32cm option is by special order from the grower.

What is the Monstera Monkey Mask Known For?

The Monstera 'Monkey Mask', known for its luscious foliage with unique fenestrations, is celebrated as a captivating tropical plant. These characteristic holey leaves have earned it the affectionate nickname 'Swiss Cheese Plant' and make it a popular choice for adding a touch of the exotic to home décor.

What Is the History of the Monstera Monkey Mask?

Originating from the dense jungles of Central and South America, the Monstera Adansonii has been a part of local ecosystems for centuries. It was later discovered by western botanists and became a beloved ornamental plant, appreciated for its air-purifying qualities and its easy-going nature.

Where Does the Monstera Monkey Mask Originate?

Monstera Adansonii is a native to the understory of tropical forests across Central and South America. It's well-adapted to the warm and humid conditions found there, which should be mimicked in indoor environments for the plant to thrive.

How Do You Care for a Monstera Monkey Mask?

To care for the Monstera 'Monkey Mask', ensure it has a warm environment with high humidity and indirect light that mimics its natural habitat. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and consider using a peat-based potting mix to retain moisture. Regular misting will help replicate the humidity of a tropical rainforest, promoting lush growth and the development of the plant's signature holes.

Are Monstera Monkey Mask Toxic to Pets?

Monstera 'Monkey Mask' contains calcium oxalate crystals which can be irritating if ingested by pets. It's recommended to keep this plant out of reach of cats and dogs to prevent any potential harm, as it can cause oral irritation, pain, and swelling.

    Great experience and an amazing selection of plants to select from. Delivery was also spot on and the plants were well wrapped/covered. The only critism is that some of the plants weren't in the best condition with regards to being trimmed and a good shape, specifically a Monkey Mask and a Boston Fern. Personally I put this down to pick of the bunch but depends what plants you get. Overall, great experience and amazing additions to the house, will be buying again for sure.
