Robust plant life inside your home adds color and vibrancy. Plants break up straight lines in furniture and accessories and literally add life to your home décor. They also recycle air, removing carbon dioxide and adding back oxygen. There are many great choices to bring the outdoors in, but here are six of the best indoor trees.
Fiddle-leaf fig trees have become the darling of the indoor plant world. Their lush, broad leaves and size make them a favorite to grace the space near a corner window. Fiddle-leaf figs thrive in well-drained soil and both indirect and direct light. Fiddle-leafs are a little picky about soil moisture, so a moisture gauge helps. These indoor trees grow best in a tropical environment, so using a room humidifier will help your plant flourish.
