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.
  • All of our plants, unless otherwise stated are supplied in a nursery pot with the exception of air plants or lucky bamboo or otherwise listed in the product description.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Nerve Plant | Skeleton Red Care Guide

Caring for your Skeleton Red Nerve Plant is a breeze! Place yours in a bright, cosy spot and water each time the soil has partially but not quite fully dried. Avoid repotting on arrival to minimise root stress, but consider this once roots begin poking out of its nursery pot drainage holes. Feed every few waters during their growth cycle, and always be on the side of underwatering if uncertain. Place on top of a pebble tray if leaves feel papery - often a sign of insufficient air moisture.
