Popular large and tall houseplants can make a bold statement and serve as focal points in a room. Some examples of popular large houseplants include the Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata), which features large, glossy leaves, and the Monstera deliciosa, known for its iconic fenestrated leaves. The Rubber plant (Ficus elastica) is another popular choice with its thick, shiny leaves. Other tall houseplants include the Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae), which produces striking, tropical flowers.

Caring for large and tall houseplants involves providing them with proper light, water, and maintenance. Most large houseplants thrive in bright, indirect light, although specific light requirements may vary. Watering should be done when the top inch or two of soil feels dry, ensuring not to overwater or let the plant sit in standing water.

Additionally, regular dusting or cleaning of the leaves is important to keep them free from dust, which can hinder photosynthesis. Fertilise these plants every few months with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser, following the package instructions.

Some large and tall houseplants may require support to help them stay upright as they grow. This is especially important for indoor plants with top-heavy growth or those with thin, weak stems. Stakes or plant supports can be used to provide stability and prevent the plant from bending or toppling over. Carefully insert the stake into the soil near the base of the plant and gently tie the stems to the stake using soft ties or plant clips. Be mindful not to tie too tightly, allowing the large houseplant room to grow and expand naturally.
