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.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Fuzzy Feathers | Elgergrass Care Guide

Calatheas love bright, indirect sunlight in order to thrive. Plentiful Humidity and a moist, consistent soil will ensure your Calathea is happy. A Pebble Tray underneath your plant, with a little sitting water will create the perfect humidity for your beautiful plant, whilst ensuring the plant pot sits on top of the pebbles rather than submerged into the water.

    I ordered four plants from here and they arrived within a few days, really well packaged and in good condition. They all came with instructions on how to look after them, including the extra care they may need after being transported, and the website is easy to navigate and find further information about all the plants.
