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.

    Not bad

    Overall not bad but not a smooth first time purchase. The plants arrived upside-down, and separately least three of the plants in the 'Rescue me' box were v sadly beyond saving. One died immediately on the day of arrival

    LOVE THIS WEBSITE

    All 3 of my house plants arrived in absolute PERFECT condition. All absolutely beautiful. What I love the most is that the website was amazing for you to be able to choose either plants that needed more shade or direct sunlight. Was easy to navigate your way around the website. Will definitely be ordering my future house plants again.

    Addicted to houseplants

    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

    After spending almost an hour looking at and reading through all the different plants on the website, I finally decided on three fairly easy to care for plants. The website was easy to navigate with simple, yet clear instructions. Which is great for those us of who are novices. On arrival the plants were very carefully packaged and were beautiful. I would have given 5 stars had it not been for the Aloe Vera plant having already had a large section chopped off (photos will be added to this review). Even so, I would recommend this company to others and will use them again.
