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.

Happiest in direct sunlight
High water requirements
Express delivery service
This Ficus is one of the most undemanding plants we have in our range. Whilst it's rich glossy leaves are native to tropical Africa - it will tolerate all levels of light or lack of light. An ideal plant for a slightly, neglectful plant-parent - or if you're frequently away for a few weeks at a time. Coping well with temperature changes too, this truly is a great all-rounder.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Rubber Plant | Robusta Care Guide

Water when the soil is almost dry through. The Rubber plant likes a misting to increase humidity as well as a bright, but indirectly lit spot. Do not fret if small white dots appear on the leaves in symmetrical patterns - this is the plants way of perspiring unwanted minerals from water.

    Rubber plant died....but nanouk flourishes!

    Thought I'd write an updated review on how my plants are doing! To get the bad news out of the way, the harsh colds here made it difficult for the rubber plants soil to dry so it sadly died. However, the nanouk I bought is doing better than I ever expected! It has grown a lot in such a short period, and even put a few buds out which are now starting to open. The cushion succulent is also doing well, but growing at an expected slow rate. They sell very high quality plants but I'd make sure you can definitely take care of the plant you're getting before buying, as I'm still mourning the loss of my rubber plant.
