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.

I ordered a weeping fig and a spider plant. They arrived promptly and safely. I am delighted with my purchase. Highly recommend.
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.
We are delighted with the ficus, delivered in good condition and it’s a nice shape.

Pleasant surprise. It is a first company which has thought about everything. Even securing a compost in a pot, wrapping in paper. Absolutely first class service.
Professional and efficient service, plants arrive promptly, well packaged and in pristine order, very healthy. Excellent value for money. Houseplant UK is the best online company I have found in this category.

Rubber Plant | Robusta ordered with other itemsRubber 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.
