Daily care and tips for Large and medium-sized plants

How do you care for a large indoor plant on a daily basis?

Watering once the substrate is thoroughly dry, on average every 7 to 10 days, suits most large plants such as Ficus or Monstera. Choose our mineral, well-draining substrate enriched with biostimulants, which promotes root anchorage for these large plants. Regularly dusting their large leaves with microfiber gloves designed for foliage care also optimizes photosynthesis.

What mistake should you avoid with a large potted plant?

A pot that is too large for the root system retains more water and increases the risk of rot. When repotting, a pot that is only slightly larger and drains well allows the roots to develop gradually and healthily. Always wait 2 to 3 weeks for the plant to acclimate after receiving it before considering repotting for the first time.

Where can I buy high-quality large and medium-sized houseplants?

Everything you need to know about Large and medium-sized plants

What is a large indoor plant, and from what size is a plant considered large?

A large indoor plant generally refers to one that exceeds 1 meter in height at maturity and is capable of structuring a space all on its own. Genera such as Ficus, Strelitzia, or Areca are good examples of this imposing size. Medium-sized plants, on the other hand, typically range from 50 to 100 centimeters and are suited to smaller spaces.

Which tall plant should I choose for a dimly lit living room?

The ZZ plant and Dracaena are particularly tolerant of moderate indirect light while maintaining an impressive stature. The Monstera also adapts to medium light, provided you avoid overly dark corners. These genera can create a lush, voluminous effect even in a room with little sun exposure.

Are large houseplants dangerous for children and pets?

Some large plants such as Dieffenbachia or Philodendron contain sap that is irritating to cats, dogs, and young children if ingested. Other genera such as Areca or Chlorophytum are considered non-toxic according to the ASPCA. It is still advisable to keep large plants out of young children's immediate reach.

Choosing large plants: criteria and tips

Choosing a large plant depends first and foremost on floor space, ceiling height, and the room's actual light levels. Most thrive in bright, indirect light and a stable temperature between 18 and 24°C, and should be watered when the substrate is dry all the way through. Choose a well-draining substrate enriched with biostimulants, and support their growth with a monthly application of our liquid fertilizer for indoor plants during the growing season.
