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.

Polka Dot Plant | Rainbow ordered with other itemsAmazing range of plants at reasonable
Amazing range of plants at reasonable prices! Really impressed with how fast delivery was and how everything was packed with such care. The plants were clearly well cared for and handled well and are already thriving and the pots are also lovely and were packaged super securely. I especially love the thought and care that is taken through gestures like sending printable care instructions for each plant you buy in the order confirmation email. This may be my new favourite shop!

Really impressed from start to finish with this experience. Amazing choice in plants and pots at very reasonable prices, arrived very quickly and very carefully packaged. You can tell that real care and thought went into the order - even down to the confirmation email automatically attaching printable care guide links for each plant. This shop will be my bank balance’s downfall! 🙈
