Most inside plants sold are rather small, suitable for placing on tables and shelves. However, in recent times we begin to see more and more variety of plants that adapt to the conditions of the home that reach a larger size.
If you want to have any, take a look at the 5 large indoor plants that we recommend.
Dracaena
The Dracaena are ideal to have in rooms where a lot of natural light enters. In addition, they resist drought well so it will not be necessary to water them a lot, just 2 or 3 times a week during the summer and between 1 and 2 the rest of the year. We can take advantage of to fertilize them during the warm months with mineral fertilizers, such as Nitrofoska, so that they can grow better.
Dypsis lutescens

- Dypsis lutescens
La Dypsis lutescens, known by the name of Areca (not to be confused with the genus of palm trees Areca) or Yellow Palm, it is a fast growing plant that adapts well to living indoors with lots of light. You need between 2 and 3 weekly waterings in summer, and between 1 and 2 the rest of the year. During the warm months, it must be paid with specific fertilizers for palm trees following the indications specified on the packaging.
Howea forsteriana
La kentia It is a slow-growing palm that grows well in semi-shade. We have to water it twice a week in the summer months, and between 1 and 2 the rest of the year. It is very important to avoid waterlogging, as it does not like to have 'wet feet'. It is always much better to fall short than to go overboard with the water. During the warm months we can fertilize it with specific fertilizers for palm trees so that they grow somewhat faster.
Rubber plant

- robust ficus
-
- Ficus benjamina
Although Ficus are trees capable of reaching surprising heights, for several centuries some species have been used to decorate homes, such as F. robust and f. benjamina, which need a lot of light to grow, which is why they are perfect for decorating the living room. We will water them a maximum of three times a week, and we will pay them in spring and summer with liquid organic fertilizers, like guano.
Pachira aquatica
La Pachira aquatica It is a tree of tropical origin that has very decorative leaves. Despite what its surname indicates, it is a plant that should not be overwatered indoors, as it could rot. The most recommended is water about 3 times a week in summer, and about 2 the rest of the year, only if the ground is dry. We will place it in an area where a lot of natural light enters, and we will fertilize it during the warm months with liquid organic fertilizers, such as guano.
