If you want to highlight high ceilings or just want to add some extra drama to a room, tall plants are an excellent option. Tall plants can make a bold design statement and provide other benefits like air purification and stress relief. Here are some of the best indoor trees and tall plants to consider adding to your home:
Fiddle leaf fig
Fiddle leaf figs are native to the jungle and therefore will thrive in your home if you give them enough humidity and filtered light. While these trees are somewhat notorious for being tricky plants to care for, they are low-maintenance once you find the right spot for them. Keep temperatures as consistent as possible and expect your tree to grow up to ten feet tall indoors.
Rubber tree
Rubber trees are related to fiddle leaf figs but easier to care for. Their thick, glossy leaves make a beautiful statement in any room and can live in a variety of light conditions. Like other tropical trees, rubber trees like humidity and moderate temperatures. To keep the plant healthy and help it reach the ceiling, regularly clean the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust.
Banana tree
A banana tree is the perfect choice of tall plant for those who want to create an exotic indoor jungle out of any room. These plants can grow quickly when given enough sunlight and regular fertilizer, reaching six to ten feet tall indoors. The giant fan-shaped leaves of the banana tree add a beautiful splash of green to any indoor space.
Parlor palm
The parlor palm has been a popular houseplant for centuries because of its ease of care and lush appearance. While slow-growing, parlor palms can reach up to six feet tall indoors. Keep your palm somewhere with bright, indirect light and allow the top inch of soil to dry between watering periods to keep a steady moisture level.

Hannah Sosinski
I started my career in the real estate industry at the age of sixteen and instantly fell in love.
I worked alongside one of the top producing agents in the country as their administrative assistant for nearly nine years before I took the leap to begin my own journey in the real estate industry.
Working alongside an agent who sells over three hundred houses a year educated me strongly on the Pittsburgh and greater Pittsburgh housing market. While working alongside this agent, I was lucky enough to be involved in several different types of real estate transactions and learned to properly determine home values, many aspects of negotiations and have learned how to close challenging deals while also handling a large amount of deals at the same time.
I have also spent the past seven years working as a property manager throughout Allegheny, Washington and Fayette County. I have managed everything from Section 8 to Luxury units.
Exploring the options of the real estate industry can be overwhelming. While working with me you’re able to sit back and relax as I have worked with many investors, home sellers and buyers and can help guide through the sale or purchase of your home and make it as easy on you as possible.
Whether you’re a first time home owner, downsizing, sizing up, looking to make your first/second or third investment, selling your home, etc. I can use my years of education to help guide you through the purchase or sale of the largest investment of your life.
I look forward to chatting about real estate with you!
