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

Nerve Plant | Red Veins Care Guide

Caring for your Nerve Plant is a fun, rewarding process! Simply place yours in a cosy spot with lots of bright, indirect sunlight, and allow the soil to mostly - but not quite fully - dry between drinks. If uncertain, always be on the side of underwatering to protect your plant from root rot.

Avoid repotting your Nerve on arrival to minimise root stress, but consider repotting with a well draining mix once roots begin poking out of its pot drainage holes. Prune occassionally for strong growth.
