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.

What is the Prayer Plant Fascinator Known For?
The Prayer Plant 'Fascinator', or Maranta leuconeura, is best known for its striking leaf patterns and its unique daily movements, with leaves that fold up in the evening resembling hands in prayer. This fascinating behaviour, coupled with its vibrant green, red, and cream leaves, makes it a captivating addition to any indoor plant collection.
What Is the History of the Prayer Plant Fascinator?
The Prayer Plant draws its historical roots from the tropical rainforests of Brazil, where it grows in the understory. It was named after Bartolomeo Maranta, a 16th-century Italian physician and botanist. The 'Fascinator' variety is a later cultivar, selected for its especially vibrant leaf markings and robust growing habits.
Where Does the Prayer Plant Fascinator Originate?
Native to the Brazilian tropics, the Prayer Plant 'Fascinator' thrives in warm, moist, and shaded environments. Its origin in the dense forest floors has adapted it to flourish in the low-light conditions of many homes and offices.
Are Prayer Plant Fascinator Toxic to Pets?
No, the Prayer Plant 'Fascinator' is pet-friendly. It is one of the safer houseplant options for households with curious pets as it does not pose a risk if ingested.
