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.

Learn More About Parlour Palm
Collapsible content
What is the Parlour Palm Known For?
The Parlour Palm is renowned for its elegant, feathery fronds and its adaptability to low-light conditions. Due to its compact size and resilience, it's one of the most popular palms for indoor gardening and is often used to add a tropical touch to living spaces.
What Is the History of the Parlour Palm?
Parlour Palms have a rich history dating back to the Victorian era, when it gained popularity as a staple in parlours (hence the name). The Victorians adored this plant for its ability to thrive in the less-than-ideal light conditions provided by gas lamps, and it soon became synonymous with sophistication and elegance.
Where Does the Parlour Palm Originate?
The Parlour Palm is native to the rainforests of Southern Mexico and Guatemala. It thrives in the understory of the forest, which is why it can tolerate lower light conditions, making it well-suited for indoor living spaces.
Are Parlour Palm Toxic to Pets?
Parlour Palms are considered pet-friendly and are non-toxic to both cats and dogs. This makes them a great choice for households with furry friends. However, as always, it's advisable to keep plants out of reach of pets to prevent accidental nibbling.

Truly amazing my plants arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The plants, four of them, had all been careful packed to protect their leaves and branches. It was the most lovely experience to unwrap them one by one and see that each and every one had been packed with love. They look perfect sitting on my sideboard, and two days later look wonderful and very healthy. I can wait to order more, and I shall always be buying my plants from Houseplant in future. Well done guys xxxx Update: just posting another photo, as my houseplant family has grown. All my orders have arrived in perfect condition and are all giving me a wonderful feeling of joy thanks Houseplant. These plants are well loved. xxx

Wish i new about Hosueplant UK earlier as i have spent a lot of money online with other companies and found the quality a mixed bag. This is my first order but the plants I received are of excellent quality and the so incredibly wrapped. Delivery was a little frustrating with DX as they delivered to me the my buildings post boxes which ins't very secure and not my flat but i was notified with a picture of delivery so i was able to track it down.

I ordered 7 plants from this company a few months ago. I'm happy with three of them, which arrived in good condition and have been healthy since. The others were a bit scratty and despite care still haven't fully bloomed and recovered. One plant arrived very tatty and battered and is still rather disappointing. Especially considering the price, I feel I'd have been much better off ordering from somewhere like IKEA. I did contact their customer service and while attentive I didn't enjoy the over friendly tone, which I found patronising.

Good service and I am pleased with the plants, but with one plant the roots were so root-bound and twisted I had to spend a long time easing it out of the pot, and eventually had to cut it out of the pot. This would have caused stress to the plant.

Parlour Palm ordered with other itemsGreat experience from start to finish
Website is clear, with enough information to allow me to make a choice - but not overwhelming for a novice like me. Delivery was quick - slightly delayed as they hold back to avoid plants being stuck mid delivery over the weekend, which is sensible. Plants arrived in good condition, with a good courier company - not one of the cheap ones that looses your parcel. Very good quality plants, I just need to look after them now. Very happy customer, and I'll be ordering again.
