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.

My beautiful house plants are phenomenal. They have been grown to perfection and delivered in perfect packaging that doesn't harm the plant. So helpful that you get helpful tips and plant care instructions, in with your delivery aswel as when you purchase, they email you the plant care, so you can prepare yourself for what plant you have brought. For example , I started collecting rain water for one of my plants as in the plant care instructions, they advised how the plant thrives of rain water.

This was the first time I’ve ever ordered plants online and I was not disappointed! The plants arrived just a couple of days after I ordered them. They were packaged really well and arrived completely damage free. I will definitely buy from them again.

Bit of a disaster really. First time DX said they couldn't find the address. We contacted them and two days later the plant was delivered to a different address as they said they could not deliver to an address that was a pub, which is where my granddaughter is. Very strange. We now have the plant and considering what we paid for it, mainly because we wanted a larger plant, there are only two blooms on it. Disappointed to say the least
