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.

One of the most robust Calathea varieties, this is a great first choice for a beginner. Vivid, bright lime-green leaves with a deeper dash of green that is reminiscent of animal print - hence the name - will stand proud and pack a visual punch with its bountiful foliage. The prayer plant is aptly known due to the movement of the leaves dependant on the lighting and time of day. You may even hear it move!

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Prayer Plant | Leopardina 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.
