Ok hear us out here. You can grow an actual tree inside your home!? The scale and drama of having 1 tree that becomes a statement piece is pretty irresistible. Below, there's one expected and two slightly off-the-wall choices for your indoor tree.
1. Fiddle Leaf Fig – The Instagram Star
Pinterest and Instagram have lighten up with this babe - the Fiddle Leaf Fig steals the show. This indoor tree can grow tall, it can be trained to either be long and narrow, or bushy and thick. But those leaves just provide drama like nothing else!
To keep this baby growing large, you want to keep it in a smallish pot (it likes being snug), feed it regularly with Grow Plant Food and Enrich Powder, and most importantly, clean its leaves with Leaf Cleaning Gloves.
2. Banana Tree – The Tropical Showstopper
Ok, so you can absolutely grow a banana tree inside. It's honestly something we are totally obsessed with; especially if you're in a humid city with lots of natural light in your home. Why not give it a go?! If you want fruit, give a dwarf variety like ‘Dwarf Cavendish’ a go. It's better indoor success.
3. Chocolate Tree – The Ultimate Conversation Starter
How cool would it be to grow your own chocolate?! The Cacao tree is a pretty unique and AMAZING indoor tree! Get it right and you'll be rewarded with sweet smelling flowers and, dare we say it, cocoa pods. It's going to need some special care; like a humidifier, a consistent watering schedule, and regular care with our Essential Plant Care trio.
