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.
  • All of our plants, unless otherwise stated are supplied in a nursery pot with the exception of air plants or lucky bamboo or otherwise listed in the product description.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Variegated Velvet Plant | Purple Passion | Hard To Find Care Guide

Place your variegated Velvet Plant in a nice sunny windowsill or kitchen, though protect from direct sunlight in the heat of Summer to prevent scorching. Colours depends on light exposure, so the brighter its space, the more vibrant it'll be. Allow soil to fully dry between drinks as these are sensitive to overwatering, always being on the side of underwatering if uncertain. Mist occasionally or place atop a pebble tray if in a dry room, and avoid repotting on arrival to prevent root stress.
