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.

Vriesea Flaming Sword | Plum Care Guide

Water your magnificent Flaming Sword Vriesea by filling the central rosette with rain or distilled water - ensuring it's appropriately full but not overwatered. The surrounding soil should ideally be kept slightly moist but not soggy.

For maximum happiness, place it in a spot with plenty of bright, indirect sunlight and temperatures ranging from about 16 degrees Celsius up to 26 degrees Celsius.

As far as humidity is concerned, it thrives best in humidities ranging from about ~50% up to ~75%
