House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Rotate your Stromanthe regularly to encourage even growth, as it naturally leans toward the light source. Mist the plant frequently or place it on a pebble tray with water to maintain the high humidity it loves. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every month during spring and summer to promote vibrant foliage. Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or sudden temperature changes to keep it thriving.
How to Water
Water Stromanthe consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is less active, but never let the soil dry out completely. Use lukewarm, filtered, or rainwater to prevent leaf tips from browning, as Stromanthe is sensitive to chemicals in tap water.
How to Plant
To plant Stromanthe, use a well-draining potting mix enriched with organic matter to retain moisture while allowing aeration. Choose a pot with drainage holes, filling it halfway before placing the root ball in the centre. Ensure the plant is positioned at the same depth as in its previous container, then backfill with soil and gently press down to secure it. Stromanthe thrives in bright, indirect light, so place it near a window with filtered sunlight, avoiding direct rays that could scorch its colourful foliage.
