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.

RARE PLANT
You're lucky you found me!
This magnificent Euphorbia Cristata, also known as the Coral Cactus is a unique, contemporary succulent with a vibrantly captivating fan-like appearance that is sure to provoke conversation! It makes for a perfect beginner or gift plant due to the low care requirements, and its fleshy, crested stems and colourful tips lend it great placement versatility. Though it's called a cactus - it's not actually a cactus at all, but two different plants grafted together! The lower portion of this plant is a Euphorbia neriifolia, whilst the upper portion is the crest of a Euphorbia lactea.

Pot delivered was not the one ordered & not even similar. It was round instead of square, patterned instead of plain & a different shade. I now have the hassle of trying to return it and finding another birthday gift for the intended recipient

Mermaid Tail Cactus ordered with other itemsTop class service
Plants were packaged well and arrived quickly in great condition. Both are thriving just a couple of days later, despite courier just leaving parcel on the doorstep, which shows these are healthy plants
