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 adorable 'Superfina' Owl Eye Cactis - also known as Mammillaria Microthele 'Superfina' - are a delight to care for and wonderfully inspiring with their distinct rounded stems and tropical style. Their smaller stature makes them perfect for adding a tropical touch at home, in the workplace and beyond, and their low maintenance means they're fantastic both for gifting and for anyone looking to grow their very first houseplant. Ideal for tables, desks, windowsills and beyond, there's so much to admire with this special variety!

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.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Owl Eye Cactus | Superfina Care Guide

Caring for your Owl Eye Cactus is a delight! Simply place yours in a cosy spot with lots of bright direct/indirect sunlight, and water thoroughly once the soil fully dries - ideally with rain, filtered or distilled water. For a boost to growth, feed once per month over Spring/Summer, and use well draining succulent or cacti mix when repotting - best done once roots start poking out the bottom of your plant's nursery pot.
