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.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Wandering Dude Quadricolour Care Guide

Tradescantias benefit from a regular pruning to encourage a full and bodied plant. Enjoys partial sun but copes well in lower light spots. Prefers a more consistent temperature, therefore it is best to avoid positioning in a draughty hallway. Water well and thoroughly during the active growing season, reducing water in the winter when the plants growth slows down.

What is the Wandering Dude Quadricolour Known For?

The Wandering Dude Quadricolour, scientifically known as Tradescantia Fluminensis, is a show-stopper with its striking multicoloured leaves. The hues of pink, white, green, and purple create an eye-catching display that can brighten up any living space. The plant's trailing nature makes it a perfect choice for hanging baskets or as a stunning ground cover.

What Is the History of the Wandering Dude Quadricolour?

The genus Tradescantia was named in honour of John Tradescant, a 17th-century English naturalist and gardener. The Fluminensis species is native to South America but has been cultivated in various parts of the world for its ornamental appeal. The Quadricolour variant is a cultivar celebrated for its intricate colouration and versatility in interior design.

Where Does the Wandering Dude Quadricolour Originate?

The original species, Tradescantia Fluminensis, hails from South America, particularly the regions around Brazil and Argentina. Its natural habitat consists of subtropical and tropical forests, which gives you an idea of the plant's preferred growing conditions—humid and warm, but out of direct sunlight.

Are Wandering Dude Quadricolour Toxic to Pets?

It's important to note that the Wandering Dude Quadricolour is not pet-safe. If ingested, it can cause mild to moderate symptoms of poisoning in pets such as vomiting, salivation, or, in rare cases, skin irritation. Always place the plant out of reach if you have pets in your home.

    I ordered baby rubber plant peperomia, Marble queen pothos and Manjula pothos. I am amazed at rubber plant because it’s of huge size of upto 20cms including a pot sized 12cms. Bushy and so freshly looking leaves. Marble queen firs excellent for my book shelf. The way these plants have been packed with mulch covering the soil to avoid dryness or soil spilling during Transport shows so much care being taken towards plants as well as the customer. Also I ordered on Monday and plants shipped out on Tuesday and I received plants on Wednesday. I was able to check our courier status throughout in the SHOP app. Thanks so much HousePlants team. I am going to order few more.

    Bit of a disaster really. First time DX said they couldn't find the address. We contacted them and two days later the plant was delivered to a different address as they said they could not deliver to an address that was a pub, which is where my granddaughter is. Very strange. We now have the plant and considering what we paid for it, mainly because we wanted a larger plant, there are only two blooms on it. Disappointed to say the least
