Have you ever had a tree in your house? Some people might wonder why on Earth someone would bring a tree into their house but this is due to the fact that they can be a beautiful décor piece, along with providing a little taste of being outside. If you want to freshen up your home with magnificent greenery, our team at Five Star Tree Services is going to go over what the best indoor trees are.
Dragon Tree
You may have also heard of this tree as Dracaena Marginata. It is an extremely easy indoor tree to care for, especially for maintenance and growth. So, if you are someone who is busy and not home too often, this is the perfect tree for you! It can grow to be 6 feet tall and is able to go without being watered for long periods of time. The only downside to this tree is that it has poisonous leaves and should not be in a home with animals that could eat them.
Ponytail Palm
This is a type of succulent tree and is another tree that is easy to care for. It likes bright light and can go outside during the summer months.
Ficus Ginseng
If you are looking for an artistic looking tree, this is the one. It has unique blunt-tipped leaves and elegant curves. It is a type of bonsai and is perfect for new plant owners. In order to keep its beautiful shape, it needs to be pruned. Regular watering is required but they like indirect light.
Mexican Fortune Tree
Another name for this tree is a money tree. In nature, this tree is huge but when it is kept indoors, the maximum height it reaches is 10 feet tall. They have ornate braided trunks, making them very unique and tantalizing to the eyes. Not to mention these trees are super easy to keep alive. Bonus, this tree is non-toxic and can be around animals! It also doesn’t require a lot of watering but will need to be repotted every 2 years.
Umbrella Tree
This tree’s roots are based in Australia and the pacific islands. It is a wonderful addition to any house. You can choose to keep it between 4-8 feet tall. It will need to be pruned occasionally and needs to stay in indirect light. They only need water when the soil is dry but be careful not to overwater it. If you do, the leaves will turn yellow.
Yucca
Originally from the Caribbean and southern US, this tree likes direct sunlight. You also don’t need to water it too often. If it’s growing very quickly, make sure to remove any brown leaves from the bottom.
Weeping Fig
Another term for this tree is a Ficus Benjamina. This tree is best known for holding its shape and being a little picky. You can train it to be a miniature or large plant that thrives on indirect but bright light. It needs to have a constant temperature of about 16 degrees Celsius and does not like drafts. It likes to be in a humid environment but the roots can’t get soggy. Make sure to only water this tree if the topsoil is dry when you touch it.
