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.

A bushy, evergreen tree with crinkly leaves and a twisted, interesting trunk. A favourite Bonsai that can be sculpted and shaped to your liking. In it's natural environment it can reach up to 30 metres tall! Don't panic, when kept as a house plant they typically stay under the 2 metre mark. If you're really lucky, you'll even be gifted with fragrant, trumpet shaped flowers. 

Please note as a natural product, exact structure and appearance may vary to that shown. Variants with larger pot sizes (e.g. 20cm) will arrive with larger, fuller foliage, whilst smaller ones may need a few growing seasons or two to reach their full potential. Decorative pots sold separately.

    Excellent service, communication from......

    Excellent service, communication from supplier was superb, on receipt of my order the supplier contacted me regarding an issue with one of the items, they advised they were unhappy with the condition of one of the plants and offered various options as alternatives, I selected one of their a replacement plants. On receipt of the delivery the plants arrived well packaged and in excellent condition plus the replacement plant was a more expensive plant than my original order I will definitely use Houseplant UK again.
