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

Crested Cactus Care Guide

Caring for your fresh new Mammillaria Un Pico Cristata Cactus is a breeze! Simply place it in a bright, warm spot and give it a drink each time the soil fully dries (both on the surface and below.) The more light the better as this will maximise both colour and development, however they can tolerate shadier spots if you don't mind slower growth.

Repot once roots begin poking out of its drainage holes, and use a well-draining succulent mix for a smooth transfer process.
