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

Prickly Pear Cactus | Grande Care Guide

Light & Temperature -
Place in a comfortable spot with plenty of bright direct/indirect sunlight and temperatures ranging from 20°C up to 30°C.

Watering & Humidity -
Allow the soil to fully dry out between waterings, or water just a little once per week with rainwater or distilled water. A low-humidity spot is perfect for this Grande, with ideal humidities ranging from 10% up to 35%.

Avoid repotting on arrival to minimise root stress, but consider once roots poke through drainage holes.
