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

African Violet | Purple Care Guide

Water your African Violets regularly, allowing the surface to dry in between. For best results, place your plant in a bright, warm and steamy environment - a bathroom or kitchen would be great for a happy plant. Direct sunlight results in scorch. Deadhead when necessary to prolong flowering. Repot once root bound into an acrylic plant pot.

    I bought a lovely little African Violet plant from Houseplant at a very reasonable price. It was delivered all the way from sunny Paignton to Redhill in Surrey in good condition. The delivery did go slightly wrong but that was down to the delivery company rather than Houseplant who, when I phoned them, went above and beyond and contacted said company who managed to find my address eventually with a LOT of help from Houseplant. Very helpful service. Highly recommended. 💜💜
