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
Codiaeum thrives in high humidity, so mist its leaves regularly or place a tray of water nearby to increase moisture levels. Clean the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their glossy appearance. Rotate the pot every few weeks to ensure even growth and maintain the plant’s striking, bushy shape. With proper care, this bold and colourful plant will remain a standout feature in your home.
How to Water
Water Codiaeum regularly to maintain consistently moist soil, but avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. During the growing season, water more frequently, but reduce this in the winter when growth slows. Use lukewarm, filtered water to avoid shocking the plant, as Codiaeum is sensitive to cold water and minerals in tap water.
How to Plant
To plant Codiaeum, use a pot with good drainage and fill it with a nutrient-rich, well-draining potting mix. Gently remove the plant from its container, taking care not to damage the roots, and position it so the top of the root ball sits just below the rim of the pot. Backfill with soil, firm lightly, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Place the pot in a spot with bright, indirect light to help the plant’s vibrant foliage flourish.
