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.

This special Rhipsalis Horrida, more commonly known as the Mousetail Cactus is a fantastically unique cacti originating from the sun soaked lands of Madagascar. Lengthy spiked emerald tails emanate from the Mousetail's core almost like a cacti waterfall - and it's a breeze to care for too! Whether you've got a cacti loving friend, or want to introduce someone to the wonderful world of houseplants - this little beauty has you covered.
Please note as a natural product, the plant you receive may vary to that shown in appearance, leaf/stem count and overall size. We always recommend going by your chosen variant's listed pot measurement and approximate 'overall' height for the best idea of how yours will look upon arrival. See our Size Guide above for further measurement guidance and decorative pot recommendations. Decorative pots sold separately.

I placed two large orders for speciality house plant. They were delivered quickly with good packaging and the plants are excellent quality and all are thriving. However, I have one problem with a pot that was shattered but the plant was ok. I contacted houseplant and got her replies by return, they agreed to send a replacement plant and pot with better packaging which arrived with no problems. I also got to keep the original plan. Their customer service was very easy to deal with, courteous and very helpful. I would highly recommend them.
