I'm moving into a much larger home and I've decided it's time to add some big plants to my collection. I want to place one in the master bedroom and the other in the living room, while my smaller plants will be sprinkled around the house. Both of these larger plants will be in west-facing rooms, but the one in the living room might also get some east-facing light during certain times. I plan on putting them on coasters for mobility, and I have some grow lights available if needed. I currently have a thriving 3.5ft tall Diffenbachia in my living room, so I'm feeling good about this! I'm on the lookout for large plant varieties that aren't Monstera and aren't too finicky about care. Oh, and just a note: we have 8ft ceilings in this space.

You might want to try Snake Plants, Dracaena Corn Plants, or ZZ plants—they can all grow pretty tall, up to about 1.6 meters! Perfect for a nice indoor atmosphere.
What about a Cast Iron Plant? ZZs are also a solid choice and can get quite big as well! They’re pretty low-maintenance, which is a bonus.
Consider a Bird of Paradise for that tropical look—it's great for making a statement! Also, a Ficus Tineke adds some beautiful color to the mix.
I just moved and got my first Bird of Paradise! I can’t wait to see it grow with the high ceilings here!
They look amazing, but aren’t they known to reach like 20ft? I’m worried they won’t survive my 7b winters.
