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.

If you're on the search for a popular plant that is easy to care for, air purifying and pet-friendly, these stunning String of Turtles are a must-have! They are well admired for their low maintenance and distinct trailing foliage reminiscent of turtles - plus are great for decorating whether at home, in the office & beyond. They are ideal for both beginners and seasoned growers alike, and their tropical Ecuadorian rainforest origins give them a wonderfully distinct style that is sure to offer inspiration and fascination wherever they may go.
As an added bonus, these are also fantastic propagators if you're up for an experiment, or want to share your green friend with loved ones! Please note foliage can naturally vary plant-to-plant and depending on the size chosen. Decorative pots sold separately.

Great variety and value (especially when choosing smaller plants which you wish to grow yourself!) Wrapping/plant handling people have some magical skills as although I have been always worried about my new green purchases before they came I was relieved when opening the package to find them still bouncy and happy (and pests free!) Great option for gifts and self-spoiling! Photos attached demonstrate how little damage plants sustained in transport. Photos taken on a day of arrival!

I bought three plants as a Christmas gift, 2 of the plants were in great condition however the third was rather disappointing. It was a string of pearls plant and not in very good condition with only one dangling string which had to be snipped off as it was dead.

String Of Turtles ordered with other itemsDecent Looking Plants
My plants arrived wrapped well, though I would have preferred less plastic waste. Also, the material put around the plant itself did damage some leaves on my African Violet. Overall, the plants looked in good condition, though maybe a bit smaller than I realised they would be. I am happy enough that I would order from them again.

Healthy plants arrived in 2 days. Superb packaging and care with the handling of the plants delivery/shipping! (considering my orders were peperomia plants, not a single leaf had fallen or gotten bruised!). Packaging kept plants intact, and were very easy to remove without harming or damaging the plants. 5 stars!
