The Best Tall Houseplants Money Can Buy

When we decorate our homes, we tend to focus on the areas we can reach. This is partly because if you don’t have one of those fancy library stairs that slide around the room, you’re probably trying to minimize the amount of time you spend using it to get to the upper parts of the room.

One way you can add some height to your home decor is by getting a houseplant that is either already tall or known to grow over time. Here are a few to consider.
