Indoor Plants and Trees for the serenity you seek.

When it comes to making a bold statement, not much can beat an indoor tree. While we’ll always love our small houseplants, mini herb gardens, and adorably tiny succulents, there’s something so unique and out of the ordinary about having a tree under your roof. Plants are figuratively and literally the breath of fresh air we need in our homes after a long day, and they happen to look really chic while doing it.

Whether it’s in the form of painted terracotta planters or a trendy vertical garden, adding houseplants to your apartment or home has its benefits, too. Not only do they look amazing, but some can purify the air, others provide sustenance, and all infuse a space with nature—which is especially nice for city dwellers. Indoor trees can do the same, but on a much larger scale. The varieties of trees that can thrive inside are plentiful, and the billowy branches, bright fruits, and tall trunks basically act as statement pieces that fit into any type of space and work with any style preference.

So, if you’ve already got your indoor vines and flowering plants on lock, take a peek at the indoor trees we’ve rounded up below to add some larger-than-life pizzazz to your place.

Fiddle Leaf Fig

Fiddle leaf figs are needy and aren’t for the easily frustrated, but with a little extra TLC these beauties will thrive in your home.

• Features: Tall and broad-leafed

• Best for: Homes with different types of lighting and patient residents

• Soil: Nutrient-rich soil with good drainage

• Light: Both indirect and direct sunlight is ideal

• Water: Water every 7 to 10 days. Purchasing a water gauge is best, because fiddle leaf figs don’t like soil that’s too wet or too dry. A fiddle leaf fig’s leaves need to be misted every couple of days and dusted every week or so. (When we say needy, we mean needy!)

• Environment and care: Needs plenty of care and attention and does best in humid climates. Homes typically aren’t muggy enough, so a humidifier can often help these high maintenance plants thrive.

Fishtail Palm

For a hint of the tropics, there’s no better plant than a palm tree. But if you’re looking for something with a more unique profile, the fishtail palm will certainly suit your fancy.

• Features: Tropical and fishtail-like leaves (hence the name)

• Best for: Spaces with bright light and humidity

• Soil: Well-draining, peat-based, and frequently moist soil

• Light: Indirect light is ideal, but plenty of it.

• Water: Wet is best, but still be wary of overwatering.

• Environment and care: Hotter more humid environments are what fishtail palms prefer. Keep your fishtail palm out of cooler, drier rooms and invest in a humidifier to keep it happy. Plus, getting a humidifier gives you an excuse to have both a fishtail palm and fiddle leaf fig.

Money Tree

The money tree doesn’t just have a unique and lovely shape it’s also said to be good luck for finances. Adding one to your home might not give you money, but it certainly will bring you beauty.

• Features: Twisted trunk and sprawling leaves

• Best for: Any kind of home!

• Soil: Sand, peat-based soil that drains well

• Light: Okay with lowlight, but indirect sunlight is best

• Water: It’s a hardy plant that can handle a few forgetful mishaps. It prefers to be watered every week or so, but if topsoil is super dry you’ll know it’s a good time to water.

• Environment and care: Humidity is key, but it’s not a fussy plant. The money tree can survive in most conditions, just make sure it’s not exposed to a consistent flow of dry air, cold, or constant darkness.

Rubber Plant

The eye-catching rubber plant isn’t too high maintenance and can both soften modern rooms and bring an air of sophistication to more casual spaces.

• Features: Deep green and shiny leaves

• Best for: Most loving homes

• Soil: Well-draining and aerated soil is ideal

• Light: Rubber trees prefer bright indirect light

• Water: Keep your rubber plant fairly moist in warmer months, but make sure it’s not oversaturated. During the winter it requires less moisture.

• Environment and care: Rubber plants aren’t huge fans of dry air, so frequent light misting can help with this.

Parlor Palm

Like the fishtail palm, parlor palms are reminiscent of the tropics and provide a space with a burst of greenery that’s fairly easy to care for.

• Features: Tropical with thin leaves

• Best for: Any kind of home

• Soil: Potting mix that drains well

• Light: Despite this being a palm tree, direct, bright sunlight isn’t required to keep these frond-laden friends healthy. Parlor palms won’t suffer even if your home has lower light conditions.

• Water: Keep it slightly moist but if it dries more than you like it won’t suffer. During the winter, allow to dry out a bit more in the. Avoid overwatering.

• Environment and care: Humidity isn’t a necessity for parlor palms. Room temperature and warmer is perfectly fine, but these plants won’t do well in cold drafty spaces
