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
Musa thrives in high humidity, so mist the leaves regularly or place a humidifier nearby to replicate its tropical environment. Feed the plant every two weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser to promote lush foliage. Rotate the pot occasionally to ensure even light exposure and balanced growth. With proper care, Musa will add a bold, exotic touch to your home or garden.
How to Water
Water Musa plants generously, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. During the growing season, check the soil every few days and water when the top 2–3 cm feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly in the winter when the plant’s growth slows. Use room-temperature rainwater or filtered water to avoid shocking the plant and to minimise mineral build-up.
How to Plant
To plant Musa, select a large pot with excellent drainage and fill it with a rich, well-draining potting mix, such as one enhanced with organic matter. Position the plant so the base of the stem is level with the soil surface, ensuring the roots are spread out evenly. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Place the plant in a warm, sunny location with bright, indirect light to encourage vigorous growth.
