Large Houseplants
If you’re looking for an easy way to transform your home into a stylish, calming space, large houseplants are the answer. These impressive, leafy giants not only enhance the aesthetics of your home but also improve air quality, reduce stress, and create a natural indoor oasis.
Why Choose Large Houseplants?
Big, leafy plants make a strong visual statement and serve as stunning focal points in any room. Many large houseplants are known for filtering toxins from the air and increasing oxygen levels. Studies have shown that indoor plants can lower stress, improve mood, and enhance concentration.
Whether placed in a minimalist corner, bright conservatory, or trendy office space, these plants complement any interior.
Caring for Large Houseplants
Most large houseplants thrive in bright, indirect light, though some, like the snake plant, can tolerate lower light levels. Always check the top few inches of soil before watering. Overwatering is the most common mistake, so allow the soil to dry between watering.
Many tropical plants love humidity, so misting the leaves or using a pebble tray can help. Keep them away from draughts and sudden temperature changes. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every few weeks to promote lush growth.
Where to Place Large Houseplants
Frame your sofa in the living room with a pair of statement palms or a large fiddle leaf fig for instant elegance.
For hallways or entrance areas, make an impressive first impression with a tall, dramatic plant like a yucca or rubber plant.
Improve air quality and relaxation of bedrooms by placing a peace lily or snake plant in there.
Boost productivity and add a touch of greenery to your home office with easy-care plants.
Large houseplants are a fantastic way to bring nature indoors, adding beauty, freshness, and a sense of tranquillity to your home. Whether you're looking to make a bold statement or simply want to enjoy the many benefits of indoor greenery, our selection has something for everyone.
