If You're A Known Plant Killer, You Might Need A Taller Plant

Even if you’ve found yourself on a "Most Wanted" list for allowing the plant life in your home to waste away, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a statement-making floor plant in your future. Everyone deserves tall greenery that will elevate their space and make even the coziest living rooms feel three times their size.

In fact, these green goods come in so many colors, shapes, and survival-rates, it won't take long to find the one that fits your home and lifestyle. Hear that, city-dwellers? Dark and poorly-ventilated spaces have finally met their (tall plant) match. Finding the right beanstalk-sized plant will transform your home into the green sanctuary you daydream about. On top of that, your tall touch of nature will make for a snazzy addition to your décor, which is a helluva lot cheaper than shelling out for actual furniture.

Struggle to keep plants of the cute and short variety alive? You’ll also be happy to know the hefty ones typically have longer lifespans since they’re more drought-tolerant than their pint-sized counterparts. Their size alone is enough to keep them thriving "since they're so visible you remember to tend to them," says Donna Letier, co-founder of Gardinuity.

So, to take the guesswork out of which large and in charge plants will best complement your space, Letier along with two other experts curated this selection of the 20 best tall plants that'll add some oomph to your home.
