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 Trumpet Pitcher Plant Known For?
The Trumpet Pitcher Plant, Sarracenia, is celebrated for its carnivorous nature and distinctive, tube-shaped leaves that function as pitfall traps for insects. These impressive plants are a point of fascination due to their sophisticated mechanism for attracting, capturing, and digesting insects, making them a natural choice for those looking to control pests in a unique way.
What Is the History of the Trumpet Pitcher Plant?
Sarracenia, native to North America, particularly in regions with nutrient-poor, acidic soils, has been a subject of curiosity and study for centuries. It was documented by settlers when they first encountered it and has since been a plant that has intrigued botanists and horticulturists alike for its unusual insect-trapping abilities.
Where Does the Trumpet Pitcher Plant Originate?
The Trumpet Pitcher Plant is indigenous to the Southeastern United States, often found in the wild in boggy, acidic soils that lack in nutrients. This scarcity of nutrients in their natural habitat is what drove the evolution of their carnivorous nature, allowing them to gain essential nourishment from captured insects.
Are Trumpet Pitcher Plant Toxic to Pets?
While the Trumpet Pitcher Plant is not toxic to pets, its presence can be intriguing to curious animals, especially cats. It's advised to place the plant out of reach, as the plant's delicate traps can be damaged by pets, and in turn, pets may be unsettled by the plant's trapping mechanism.
