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.

Collapsible content
What is the Snake Plant Cylindrica Known For?
The Snake Plant Cylindrica, a variation of Sansevieria Trifasciata, is renowned for its vertical, tube-shaped leaves. Its striking form and resilience to neglect make it an ideal plant for modern homes and busy plant owners.
What Is the History of the Snake Plant Cylindrica?
Historically, the Snake Plant has been used in African culture for its fibrous leaves, perfect for making bowstrings, hence the name 'Mother-in-Law's Tongue.' Its hardiness has made it a symbol of strength and endurance through tough conditions.
Where Does the Snake Plant Cylindrica Originate?
Originating from the arid regions of West Africa, the Snake Plant Cylindrica has adapted to survive with little water and in low-light conditions. It's a testament to nature's ability to flourish under adversity.
Are Snake Plant Cylindrica Toxic to Pets?
While the Snake Plant Cylindrica makes for a stunning and low-maintenance houseplant, it is worth noting that it can be toxic if ingested. Pet owners should place it out of reach of curious cats and dogs to prevent any risk of harm.

Great variety and value (especially when choosing smaller plants which you wish to grow yourself!) Wrapping/plant handling people have some magical skills as although I have been always worried about my new green purchases before they came I was relieved when opening the package to find them still bouncy and happy (and pests free!) Great option for gifts and self-spoiling! Photos attached demonstrate how little damage plants sustained in transport. Photos taken on a day of arrival!

Issues with delivery ignoring requested neighbour drp off so plants were boxed up and being moved around for a couple of extra days until i could reschedule delivery. My plants had some minor damage, probably because of above, but nothing I can't sort. Lovely plants at a fair price. Will use again.
