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.

This lovely succulent is a fun, trailing house plant that grows long vines with succulent spheres in a luscious green hue. Happy pearls are very rounded and solid to touch. The Sting of pearls is the perfect house plant for hanging baskets or positioned to cascade over a sill or shelf. If you're lucky, the String of pearls plant will flower with a faint, white bloom that is beautifully cinnamon scented.

Please note our 'Tall Pot' variant is not compatible with regular ceramic pots due to its rectangular design.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

String of Pearls Care Guide

String of pearls are prone to root rot so it is best to position in a light, bright spot with plentiful airflow. A well-draining potting mix is essential - if you're fearful of overwatering this wonderful plant then a partial mix of soil and perlite will help to lighten the soil and increase drainage.

Learn More About String of Pearls

Collapsible content

What is the String of Pearls Known For?

The String Of Pearls is best known for its unique pearl-like leaves that hang from long, slender stems, giving it a striking appearance. This plant is a popular choice for hanging baskets and indoor displays due to its low-maintenance nature and unique aesthetic.

What Is the History of the String of Pearls?

The String Of Pearls plant originally gained popularity as a household ornament in the late 20th century. It belongs to the Asteraceae family and has long been admired for its unusual, bead-like foliage and trailing growth habit. Over the years, it has become a staple in modern and minimalist home décor.

Where Does the String of Pearls Originate?

String Of Pearls plants are native to the dry regions of Southwest Africa, including areas of Namibia and South Africa. These plants have adapted to their arid environments by storing water in their bead-like leaves, making them highly drought-resistant.

How Do You Care for a String of Pearls?

Caring for a String Of Pearls plant is relatively straightforward. They require well-draining soil and moderate to bright indirect light. Overwatering can be a concern, so it's best to let the soil dry out a bit between waterings. They also appreciate a mild liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.

Are String of Pearls Toxic to Pets?

It's important to note that the String Of Pearls plant is toxic if ingested, especially for pets like dogs and cats. The plant contains a toxin that can cause gastrointestinal issues such as vomiting and diarrhoea. If you have pets, it's best to keep this plant out of reach or choose a pet-friendly alternative.

    House Plant UK is great!

    The delivery was very fast and they were getting it ready on Saturday too for dispatch so I got it on Monday. The delivery wasn’t too expensive either. The plants came packaged very well with no damage to them and also with an little leaflet that provided some information on how to best take care of the plants. Overall would highly recommend House Plant UK.

    Arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. The mystery cuttings were lovely and varied - it would have been nice to have a list of what is what though, I’m still very much a beginner so I have no clue how to identify them, so they’ll remain a mystery until they grow lol. I am officially a plant addict!

    I have a problem. I’ve recently become obsessed with buying house plants and my husband purchased some from here for me as a surprise. I then went on to purchase even more for myself and I now have no more room and already planning which plants to buy next! I love them and I’m very happy with what we have bought. They arrived very well packaged and I’m so pleased it’s so easy to buy plants that aren’t at my local garden centres. Next stop plantaholics anonymous haha

    The plant received was a lot less healthy looking than the website photo. Hopefully it will recover The courier, DX, notified me that it would deliver within a two hour slot and failed to do so. At the end of this period the tracking information giving the location of the courier disappeared without any explanation. The plant was delivered approx 90 minutes later and simply left on the doorstep - the courier did not knock on the door. I did not receive an apology for late delivery nor did I receive any advance notification that it would be delivered that evening. I have not received a response to the online contact form I submitted when the order did not arrive The shop app which I was advised to download to track the ordetr was useless. 2 days after delivery the app says that the order is still being shipped I will not be ordering any more plants from you
