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.

This lovely succulent is a fun, trailing house plant that grows long vines with succulent spheres in a luscious green hue. Happy pearls are very rounded and solid to touch. The Sting of pearls is the perfect house plant for hanging baskets or positioned to cascade over a sill or shelf. If you're lucky, the String of pearls plant will flower with a faint, white bloom that is beautifully cinnamon scented.
Please note our 'Tall Pot' variant is not compatible with regular ceramic pots due to its rectangular design and decorative pots are sold separately. Looking for String of Teardrops instead? Click here!

Learn More About String of Pearls
Collapsible content
What is the String of Pearls Known For?
The String Of Pearls is best known for its unique pearl-like leaves that hang from long, slender stems, giving it a striking appearance. This plant is a popular choice for hanging baskets and indoor displays due to its low-maintenance nature and unique aesthetic.
What Is the History of the String of Pearls?
The String Of Pearls plant originally gained popularity as a household ornament in the late 20th century. It belongs to the Asteraceae family and has long been admired for its unusual, bead-like foliage and trailing growth habit. Over the years, it has become a staple in modern and minimalist home décor.
Where Does the String of Pearls Originate?
String Of Pearls plants are native to the dry regions of Southwest Africa, including areas of Namibia and South Africa. These plants have adapted to their arid environments by storing water in their bead-like leaves, making them highly drought-resistant.
Are String of Pearls Toxic to Pets?
It's important to note that the String Of Pearls plant is toxic if ingested, especially for pets like dogs and cats. The plant contains a toxin that can cause gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting and diarrhoea. If you have pets, it's best to keep this plant out of reach or choose a pet-friendly alternative.
