Why Choose Large Indoor Plants?

Large indoor plants bring so much more than impressive size to your interiors. They can act as living screens, soften sharp corners, and help create a tranquil, welcoming atmosphere. Plus, mature plants are often hardy, adapting well to different indoor environments and filtering toxins from the air.

Top Types of Large Indoor Plants

Here’s a guide to some of the most popular types of large indoor plants that thrive in Kiwi homes:

Perfect for making a design statement, the Ficus Black Knight thrives in bright, indirect light and grows tall with minimal fuss.

Ficus lyrata (Fiddle-Leaf Fig)

The Ficus lyrata (Fiddle-Leaf Fig) is an icon among large indoor plants. It boasts broad, violin-shaped leaves and a sculptural quality that suits modern décors. Given good light and occasional watering, Fiddle-Leaf Figs can reach impressive heights indoors, instantly elevating your space.

Recognisable for its dramatic, fenestrated leaves, the Monstera deliciosa (Swiss Cheese Plant) adds a lush, tropical feel to any room. This classic is easy to care for and, given enough space, will climb or sprawl, making it a fantastic choice for large open areas.
