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

Monkey Jars | Alata Care Guide

Caring for your Nepenthes Monkey Jars 'Alata' is a fun, rewarding process! Simply place yours in a cosy spot with plenty of bright, indirect sunlight and give it a drink every few days with rainwater, distilled or filtered water once the soil partially, but not fully dries. Feed once per month over Spring + Summer for a boost to pitcher and leaf development, and ensure its environment is sufficiently humid. Placement in a kitchen or bathroom is ideal, but alternatively it can be pebble trayed.
