Large Indoor Plants that make great Screening plants!
If you’re looking for Large Indoor Plants that are perfect for screening it’s hard to go past palms like the Golden Cane Palm which has many trunks creating a dense bamboo like mass. Lady Palms are another great option. Schefflera Amate is another that can create dense jungly foliage. Monstera Borsigiana, a variegated Monstera species, although an expensive option and not one you’d use in public settings for fear of being stolen, it is a climber, a fairly quick grower and with the big famous Monstera leaves and climbing a totem it can create a nice and dense screen.

Large Indoor Plants with Big Tropical Leaves!
For Large Indoor Plants with jaw droppingly big leaves it’s hard to go past Philodendrons like Dean McDowell/Pastazanums or Gloriosums. Monstera Deliciosa is the undisputed big leaf king. Giant Elephant Ears and other big Alocasias bring that big leaf jungle vibe better than any other. Spathiphyllum Sensations are another big leaf favourite.

For large indoor plants that are short and stocky it’s hard to go past philodendrons like the Rojo Congo or hope, Calatheas like zebrina and makoyana, spathiphyllums, zanzibar gems or Stromanthe tricolours for a splash of colour. For hanging baskets Macho Ferns are hard to beat!

Large Indoor Plants on a Budget
For Large Indoor Plants on a budget, palms tend to represent good bang for buck as they can be quick growers so buying them in 200mm pots and seeing them grow can be rewarding. Giant Birds of Paradise and Schefflera Amate are other good options that you can buy in 200mm pots and will fill out a space within a year or two. It doesn’t get much cheaper than pothos so if you get creative, such as through hanging baskets and have a little time on your side they can quickly transform a space into a Jungalow.
We hope you find this post helpful and by clicking the button below you will be taken to what we currently have available in pots larger than 200mm so you can get off to a flying start in the creation of your jungle!
