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.

Learn More About Venus Fly Trap
Collapsible content
What is the Venus Fly Trap Known For?
The Venus Fly Trap is best known for its unique, carnivorous nature. The plant features clamshell-like leaves with small, sensitive hairs that snap shut when touched, trapping insects for nutrients. It's a popular choice for those interested in unique and exotic plants.
What Is the History of the Venus Fly Trap?
The Venus Fly Trap is native to the subtropical wetlands of the East Coast of the United States, particularly North and South Carolina. Discovered in the 18th century, it quickly captured the public's imagination due to its carnivorous traits. Over time, it has become a subject of numerous scientific studies and a popular houseplant.
Where Does the Venus Fly Trap Originate?
Venus Fly Traps originate from the subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States. Specifically, they are found in North and South Carolina. They have adapted to thrive in nutrient-poor, acidic soil by capturing and digesting insects for nourishment.
How Do You Care for a Venus Fly Trap?
Caring for a Venus Fly Trap requires some specific conditions. They prefer bright but indirect light and need to be kept in nutrient-poor, acidic soil. It's best to water them with distilled water or rainwater, as tap water can contain minerals that harm the plant. They also require a winter dormancy period to mimic their natural habitat.
Are Venus Fly Trap Toxic to Pets?
Venus Fly Traps are not considered toxic to pets, but their unique trapping mechanism may intrigue curious pets. While the plant's trap is generally not strong enough to harm a pet, it's best to keep the plant out of reach to avoid any unintended tampering or ingestion.

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.
All Good! Great little plants to add to a growing collection, look healthy, arrived as promised! What’s not to love ❤️
This is the 2nd time I have sent gifts using this service. Everyone was delighted with the quality of the plants and pot. The delivery was just as required with a time slot.
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.

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. It was the most lovely experience to unwrap them one by one and see that each and every one had been packed with love. They look perfect sitting on my sideboard, and two days later look wonderful and very healthy. I can wait to order more, and I shall always be buying my plants from Houseplant in future. Well done guys xxxx Update: just posting another photo, as my houseplant family has grown. All my orders have arrived in perfect condition and are all giving me a wonderful feeling of joy thanks Houseplant. These plants are well loved. xxx
