Polka Dot Plant
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.

I ordered a weeping fig and a spider plant. They arrived promptly and safely. I am delighted with my purchase. Highly recommend.
Truly amazing my plants arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The plants, four of them, had all been careful packed to protect their leaves and branches.
We are delighted with the ficus, delivered in good condition and it’s a nice shape.
All Good! Great little plants to add to a growing collection, look healthy, arrived as promised! What’s not to love ❤️
This is the 2nd time I have sent gifts using this service. Everyone was delighted with the quality of the plants and pot. The delivery was just as required with a time slot.
Pleasant surprise. It is a first company which has thought about everything. Even securing a compost in a pot, wrapping in paper. Absolutely first class service.
Professional and efficient service, plants arrive promptly, well packaged and in pristine order, very healthy. Excellent value for money. Houseplant UK is the best online company I have found in this category.
Fast delivery and plants were beautifully and carefully packed. Have bought plants from HousePlants multiple times with a consistent experience. Amazing quality.
Delivered in an excellent state, health and looking beautiful. I ADORE this site now I've discovered it.

I’m very happy with the quality of the plants I received. The only issue I had was with the delivery. The delivery driver did not leave the parcel in the porch and there was no option to leave in a safe place for the redelivery. There was no need for it to be signed for only! This meant added stress to the plants to potentially be in darkness for too long!

Just received my 2nd batch of plants from this company. 5 stars both times. Plenty of choice on the website, easy transaction, great communication and well packaged deliveries. The condition of the plants are 2nd to none. You can tell each plant has been meticulously quality checked before sending as there wasn't a thing wrong with any of them. Would highly recommend the products this company sells and will be buying from again and again.

The plants look amazing and I hope they are happy in their new home. One of the plants has very weak and thin roots coming out of the pkt so I am hoping it doesn't break.

Truly amazing my plants arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The plants, four of them, had all been careful packed to protect their leaves and branches. It was the most lovely experience to unwrap them one by one and see that each and every one had been packed with love. They look perfect sitting on my sideboard, and two days later look wonderful and very healthy. I can wait to order more, and I shall always be buying my plants from Houseplant in future. Well done guys xxxx Update: just posting another photo, as my houseplant family has grown. All my orders have arrived in perfect condition and are all giving me a wonderful feeling of joy thanks Houseplant. These plants are well loved. xxx
