Plants liven up any and every environment. When you enter a room and see bouts of lush green or gorgeous flowers, it's tough to feel stressed out. That's because indoor plants have been proven to improve environmental wellness, purify the air, boost focus and much more.

Adding greenery to your work or home also can provide an easy and practical piece of decoration. Think about that dusty, large corner in your reading room that seems so large because there's nothing filling the gap. Have you ever considered propping a tall indoor plant there?

Don't worry about them growing up to your ceiling. Tall indoor plants do not grow nearly as large as they would in their natural outdoor environments, which is what makes them such a great option. Check out and shop our 25 favorite tall indoor plants to figure out which you like the best!
