Who doesn’t like large, life-sized plants touching their roof? Plants have become central to home decor and tall plants help make a style statement.

However, the choice of plants can make or break this feeling. While exotic plants look beautiful, they’re often require high maintenance. Fragile root systems, watering issues and pest attacks are more rampant in exotic plants than native varieties.

Native varieties on the other hand, not only help your spaces look evergreen but also reduce maintenance stress for you. Additionally, such plants are versatile and can survive in almost any light condition, indoor or outdoor.

For instance, rubber plants, palms, ficus can thrive inside your house in indirect light and can also do well in your balcony in full sunlight. They adjust to their surroundings way faster than the exotic species.

Here are a few native plants that are low maintenance and can help you make a statement.
