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 Spider Plant Known For?
The Spider Plant, or Chlorophytum, is renowned for its resilient nature and its attractive, arching variegated leaves. Known to be an excellent air purifier, it's also famous for producing 'spiderettes' – baby plants that dangle from the mother plant like spiders on a web.
What Is the History of the Spider Plant?
Historically, the Spider Plant has been a part of households for centuries. It originates from tropical and southern Africa, where it spread across the world due to its adaptability and ease of propagation, becoming a staple in Victorian-era households for its ornamental and purported air-purifying qualities.
Where Does the Spider Plant Originate?
The Spider Plant is native to the coastal areas of South Africa. It has adapted to a range of environmental conditions, making it a versatile plant that can thrive in a variety of indoor settings.
Are Spider Plant Toxic to Pets?
Yes, the Spider Plant is safe for pets. It's one of the most popular choices for pet owners due to its non-toxicity. Even if pets decide to nibble on the leaves, they won't be harmed.

After spending almost an hour looking at and reading through all the different plants on the website, I finally decided on three fairly easy to care for plants. The website was easy to navigate with simple, yet clear instructions. Which is great for those us of who are novices. On arrival the plants were very carefully packaged and were beautiful. I would have given 5 stars had it not been for the Aloe Vera plant having already had a large section chopped off (photos will be added to this review). Even so, I would recommend this company to others and will use them again.
