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.

Houseplant & Indoor Plant Care

Zelkova | Bonsai Care Guide

Caring for your Zelkova Bonsai is a fun, rewarding process! Simply place yours in a cosy, warm spot with stable temperatures and plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. Allow the soil to mostly - but not fully - dry between drinks, and ideally use lukewarm rainwater, distilled or filtered water for the cleanest drinking experience possible. Feed once per month over Spring/Summer for a boost to development, and repot only once roots begin poking out of your pot's drainage holes.
