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.

Learn More About ZZ Plant
Collapsible content
What is the ZZ Plant Known For?
The ZZ Plant is renowned for its stunning, waxy green leaves that flourish with minimal care, making it a favorite amongst both novice and expert gardeners. It’s highly appreciated for its ability to tolerate low light conditions and irregular watering, truly making it a standout in the realm of houseplants.
What Is the History of the ZZ Plant?
Zamioculcas Zamiifolia, the botanical name of the ZZ Plant, has its roots in the arid regions of Eastern Africa. It's a plant that has risen to prominence in home decor relatively recently, becoming widely recognized in the 1990s for its resilience and elegant foliage that complements modern living spaces.
Where Does the ZZ Plant Originate?
The ZZ Plant hails from Eastern Africa, where it thrives in drought-prone areas, a testament to its remarkable drought resistance. Its natural habitat has equipped it to store water within its rhizomes, enabling it to withstand long periods without moisture.
Are ZZ Plant Toxic to Pets?
While the ZZ Plant is an excellent choice for those looking for low-maintenance greenery, it's important to note that it is not safe for pets. All parts of the plant contain calcium oxalate crystals, which can be irritating if ingested by animals, so it’s best to keep it out of reach of curious pets.

ZZ Plant ordered with other itemsGood plants. Sadly some damaged during delivery and sale could be better value for cash.
Plants arrived in good time and most in good condition. Sadly the bunny ears cactus I bought seemed to be damaged during delivery which is a shame and some of the more expensive plants were slightly smaller that expected. Other than that the other plants were in good health and the care instructions are helpful, I think the plants are a bit pricy for what they are given I mostly ordered on the sale section.
