Types of extra large houseplants
For a real eye-catcher in your home, go for an extra-large houseplant! Houseplants are increasingly being incorporated into interiors, and extra-large plants are a real trend. By choosing an extra large houseplant, you can fill every empty corner of your room. Put them together in a group and choose different sizes to create a green oasis in your interior. Of course, light and location also have to be taken into account with extra-large plants. Fortunately, there is a suitable plant for every spot!
Extra-large plants for a light spot
The location of a plant has a major influence. Do you have a sunny spot by the window or a dark corner which you want to brighten up? Tropical plants are perfect for places with lots of light. Always make sure that large plants do not stand in full sunlight. Musa Dwarf Cavendish and Caryota Mitis are perfect plants for a bright spot. The latter is also known as the Fishtail Palm and originates from Southeast Asia. This beautiful palm plant likes a lot of water and warmth and belongs to the category of large growers! It is therefore best to put it in a pot to grow in, for example the Penny Pot XL.
Extra large plants for a semi-shaded spot
Are you looking for a plant with a little more body and growth potential to fill a semi-shaded spot? Then the Calathea Medallion and the Alocasia Frydek are perfect choices! The Calathea Veitchiana 'Medallion' has a special appearance with its multi-coloured leaves and beautiful deep purple underside. During the day its leaves are open, but at nightfall it closes itself off more and the deep purple colour under the leaves becomes more visible. The Calathea Medaillon likes to take up space and does not need much light. The Calathea Medaillon is air purifying and safe for children and animals. Perfect for every household!
