If you want to highlight high ceilings or just want to add some extra drama to a room, tall plants are an excellent option. Tall plants can make a bold design statement and provide other benefits like air purification and stress relief. Here are some of the best indoor trees and tall plants to consider adding to your home:
Fiddle leaf figs are native to the jungle and therefore will thrive in your home if you give them enough humidity and filtered light. While these trees are somewhat notorious for being tricky plants to care for, they are low-maintenance once you find the right spot for them. Keep temperatures as consistent as possible and expect your tree to grow up to ten feet tall indoors.
Rubber trees are related to fiddle leaf figs but easier to care for. Their thick, glossy leaves make a beautiful statement in any room and can live in a variety of light conditions. Like other tropical trees, rubber trees like humidity and moderate temperatures. To keep the plant healthy and help it reach the ceiling, regularly clean the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust.
A banana tree is the perfect choice of tall plant for those who want to create an exotic indoor jungle out of any room. These plants can grow quickly when given enough sunlight and regular fertilizer, reaching six to ten feet tall indoors. The giant fan-shaped leaves of the banana tree add a beautiful splash of green to any indoor space.
The parlor palm has been a popular houseplant for centuries because of its ease of care and lush appearance. While slow-growing, parlor palms can reach up to six feet tall indoors. Keep your palm somewhere with bright, indirect light and allow the top inch of soil to dry between watering periods to keep a steady moisture level.
