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
Yucca plants benefit from occasional cleaning to remove dust from their sturdy leaves, which enhances photosynthesis. Trim older, lower leaves as they yellow to maintain a tidy appearance and promote new growth. For outdoor plants, protect against frost by wrapping the base with horticultural fleece during harsh winters. Indoors, ensure the plant has enough space to spread out its striking, architectural leaves.
How to Water
Water Yucca sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. During the growing season, water approximately every two weeks, increasing frequency in extreme heat. In winter, reduce watering to once a month as the plant enters a period of dormancy. Avoid letting water sit at the base of the plant or in the pot saucer, as overwatering can lead to root rot. Ensure water drains completely to maintain optimal soil conditions.
How to Plant
To plant Yucca, select a bright location with well-draining soil, such as sandy or gritty compositions, as it thrives in dry conditions. Use a large pot with excellent drainage and a cactus or succulent soil mix. Position the plant in direct sunlight or bright, indirect light to support healthy growth, and water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil.
