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 Venus Fly Trap Known For?
The Venus Fly Trap is best known for its unique, carnivorous nature. The plant features clamshell-like leaves with small, sensitive hairs that snap shut when touched, trapping insects for nutrients. It's a popular choice for those interested in unique and exotic plants.
What Is the History of the Venus Fly Trap?
The Venus Fly Trap is native to the subtropical wetlands of the East Coast of the United States, particularly North and South Carolina. Discovered in the 18th century, it quickly captured the public's imagination due to its carnivorous traits. Over time, it has become a subject of numerous scientific studies and a popular houseplant.
Where Does the Venus Fly Trap Originate?
Venus Fly Traps originate from the subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States. Specifically, they are found in North and South Carolina. They have adapted to thrive in nutrient-poor, acidic soil by capturing and digesting insects for nourishment.
Are Venus Fly Trap Toxic to Pets?
Venus Fly Traps are not considered toxic to pets, but their unique trapping mechanism may intrigue curious pets. While the plant's trap is generally not strong enough to harm a pet, it's best to keep the plant out of reach to avoid any unintended tampering or ingestion.

Venus Fly Trap ordered with other itemsAudrey II and pals have landed!
We've developed a fungus gnat (Yuk!) issue with our houseplants so in looking for a vicious and multi layered plan to eradicate them I started looking for carnivorous plants! I've never used Houseplants.co.uk before but couldn't be happier ... the plants were reasonably priced (not the cheapest but cheap is never good for ordering plants in my experience), arrived in super speedy time, were carefully packed and were very healthy upon arrival. Will definately be using you again :)
