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.

If you're looking to pick up your very first houseplant or just want something that can inspire with minimal attention, these stunning Wooly Cactis make for an excellent choice! They are best identified through their vibrant green stems with stunning orange-red spines, and their succulent, tropical nature means they rarely need watering and love a lot of sun - though can tolerate partially shaded spots. Ideal if you're looking to decorate at home, in the office and beyond, your Wooly Cactus friend is sure to be a great conversation starter and offer a sense of natural inspiration wherever it may find itself! 

Please note as a natural product, the plant you receive may vary to that shown in appearance, leaf/stem count and overall size. We always recommend going by your chosen variant's listed pot measurement and approximate 'overall' height for the best idea of how yours will look upon arrival. See our Size Guide above for further measurement guidance and decorative pot recommendations. Decorative pots sold separately.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Wooly Cactus Care Guide

Caring for your brand new Wooly Cactus is a breeze! Simply place yours in a bright, warm spot and give it a quick drink each time the soil has fully dried. Avoid repotting on arrival to minimise root stress, but consider moving yours into a larger nursery pot once roots begin poking out of its drainage holes for continued development. Feed once per month from Spring to Autumn for a development and health boost. Handle with care and keep away from pets.
