How to Pick the Right Large Indoor House Plant

These large plants are generally easier to care for because they are less sensitive to changes in their environment than their smaller counterparts would be. Their bigger leaves, trunks and fronds can add structure and colour to your plant collection. Or they make great solo statement pieces, beside your sofa, or in your front hall, depending on the atmosphere you’re looking to create.

If you spend a lot of time at home, it’s worth taking the time to create a balanced living environment. Plus, it is a great way to get your creative juices going! Plants are a great way to complement your room’s interior design whilst also being good for your well-being. A win-win situation. If you decide that your collection is missing some large indoor plants, here’s some inspiration for where they’ll thrive.

A Shelf With Filtered Light

The vast majority of tropical plants like to be in a humid space with filtered light, so you’ve really got your pick of plants here! If you’re looking for a plant that will bring a feeling of tropical jungles into your home, then look no further. This Swiss Cheese Plant is a great plant for beginners and all those who love a fast grower. They get their name from the internal holes that form on their leaves as they grow.

Have you ever seen plants that open and close their leaves at dawn and dusk? If you’re as fascinated by these plants as we are, then you need to take a closer look at the Calathea Medallion. One of the first things you’ll notice is the spectacular patterns on the top of its leaves. The underside has a lush purple colour which makes it a truly mesmerising plant.

Talents for Cleaning the Air

As we always say, plants are not just great décor. Building greenery into your everyday environments can significantly improve your health and wellbeing. One of the many ways plants can help is by taking all sorts of nasties out of the air. Plants catch dust, filter toxins from the air and boost humidity in rooms dried out by central heating and air conditioning.

One of our favourite climbing plants is particularly good at purifying the air: the Golden Pothos has glossy heart-shaped leaves and can grow quite fast. It can reach up to 2m but no need to worry. You can always cut it back to keep it under control. But why not let it flow and embrace the jungle-look?

So pair that large room with large indoor house plants and see it come to life. Or place tall house plants to match your high ceiling. Got a blank wall? Colour it up with large shelf plants!
