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
Feed your orchid with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength every two weeks during the growing season. Prune faded flower spikes just above a visible node to encourage a second bloom. Orchids thrive in a stable environment, so avoid placing them near drafts, radiators, or direct sunlight to keep them healthy and flowering for longer.
How to Water
Water orchids sparingly, allowing the compost to dry out slightly between waterings. Most orchids thrive on a once-weekly watering schedule, but adjust based on the room temperature and humidity. Use tepid rainwater or distilled water to avoid mineral buildup, as tap water can harm the roots. Avoid soaking the crown of the plant, as this can lead to rot. Always ensure the pot drains well to prevent waterlogging.
How to Plant
To plant orchids, select a shallow pot with excellent drainage and use a specialised orchid compost made of bark or moss to allow airflow around the roots. Gently remove the orchid from its original pot and place it in the new container, ensuring the roots are not overcrowded and the base of the plant is above the compost. Avoid covering the base of the plant with soil. Water lightly after planting to settle the roots and position the pot in bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth.
