There are many large house plants to choose from, from palms that give a lush feel to plants with large leaves that make a real statement, such as a Swiss cheese plant, rubber plant or bird of paradise.<\/p>\n
Advice on choosing a large indoor plant<\/h3>\n
Before choosing a large indoor plant, assess your space<\/a>. Do you need to fill a tall, thin spot, or do you need to fill a larger empty area?<\/p>\n Think carefully about light. Most house plants do best a few feet from a window. Larger leaved plants are adapted to coping with lower light levels, but bear in mind that any plant will struggle in a dark corner. Some plants, such as the fiddle leaf fig, do not like to be moved around, so choose its permanent spot carefully.<\/p>\n Make sure you\u2019ve checked how fast your chosen plant grows, and its ultimate height and spread. For instant impact, buy the biggest plant you can afford.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve chosen your plant, you\u2019ll need to find the right pot to complement it.

Most need watering when the top few centimetres of compost is dry, but some, such as Euphorbia trigona<\/em>, can survive on less.<\/p>\n The larger your plant pot and the bigger the plant, the harder it can be to repot a plant. If the whole operation is proving too tricky, there is a simple solution. Simply scrape away as much of the compost as you can with a spoon or fork \u2013 at least 5cm, taking care not to damage the roots \u2013 and replace it with fresh. You can do this every year, in spring.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\nHow to water large indoor plants<\/h3>\n
