25 tall indoor plants

The Bambusoideae are actually a whole subfamily of plants with a large number of species. They are a great option for both interior and exterior decoration, but we must be clear about what species we want to acquire, since they are very fast-growing plants and some reach heights of up to 25 meters . The Bambusa bamboos are reaching heights greater, and therefore are not suitable for indoor use . Phyllostachys, on the other hand, are widely used indoors, and are characterized by their strong roots and golden stems. The Sasa bamboos , however, are bamboos smaller size, which are commonly used as ground cover for its ability to spread.

Among its genres are the following:

• Brachystachyum
• Alvimia
• Chusquea
• Fargesia
• Thyrsostachys
• Agnesia
• Cryptochloa
• eremitis

In this other AgroCorrn article we show you different types of bamboo . Here you can see which ones are best for indoor spaces.

This is one of the most curious tall houseplant names , as it is both a plant and a bird itself. The Strelitzia reginae , called the bird of paradise plant , is a plant with very showy flowers of bright colors, which are grouped up to six per stem. Its leaves are large, greyish green and very resistant. It is a plant of subtropical climate, and it could be said that it is one of the indoor flowering plants most used in flower arrangements.

In AgroCorrn we give you a practical guide on the Bird of Paradise Plant: care, transplantation and reproduction .

Ficus are a whole genus of plants in the Moráceas family with more than 800 varieties. There are both evergreen and deciduous ficus, and some are even large trees. They are tall plants that are particularly well adapted to the Mediterranean climate and are very often used in interior decoration for their longevity.

Some species of ficus are:

• Ficus benjamina
• Ficus lyrata

Also called the elephant’s foot , this succulent plant is often mistaken for a palm tree. It is highly appreciated for its striking shapes and its undemanding care. It is widely used for indoor spaces, although it grows slowly, so you will need patience to reach great heights.

These are the Care of the elephant foot or nolina plant , a very practical guide if you want to have it at home.

There are a large number of palm trees that can be had indoors . They are very undemanding plants that can withstand the shortage of water without problems, although they need to be located in bright areas, but the incidence they receive from sunlight is not direct. Some common species of indoor palm trees are:

• Palm hearts
• The kentia palm tree
• The areca palm
• The Washingtonias

This large-leaved , glossy dark green plant has the ability to create a tropical feel in any space. The peculiar shape of its leaves, dotted with cavities and for which it is given the name of Adam’s rib, provides that jungle feeling that can turn a living room into a green space. It is also called a skeleton plant, ceriman, and philodendron and can grow very tall and large .

Learn about the care of the Adam’s rib plant or Monstera deliciosa in this other post from AgroCorrn.

This plant is also very common in interior decoration . Many choose it for its striking leaves, long and light green in the center and darker on the sides or vice versa, depending on the species. Dracaena or Drácena is a genus of tall plants that requires indirect light, although it appreciates a few hours of direct light in the less aggressive strips.

One of the best known is the so-called Tronco de Brasil , here we show you the guide to its care.

Anyone who has ever seen a croton remembers the particular design of its leaves, in which the veins of the most common species are yellow and the leaves are an intense dark green. In other species of croton , green, yellow and red leaves can be seen, but all with the veins marked in another color, which makes them very decorative tall plants for interiors .

It can reach heights of up to 3 meters , and appreciates being sheltered from currents and receiving the sun in the mildest hours.

This shrub, with the scientific name Adenium obesum and also called Sabi Star or Kudu , is a tropical plant with origins in Africa and Arabia. It can reach up to 3 meters in height and requires a large amount of sun and very well drained soils that avoid complications due to excess moisture in the roots.
