Statement Houseplants To Replace Your Christmas Tree
Tis the season to part ways with the Christmas tree, but no need for post-holiday blues! Replace that space with lively indoor plants. Our top picks will keep those green vibes alive from January to November!
Avoid the twelfth-night blues with gorgeous green indoor plants that are perfect for filling in empty spaces left behind post-Christmas.
Christmas trees are so central to our festive celebrations that, when it's time for the tree to come down for another year, the space can start to feel especially bare and gloomy. To help keep the greenery you’ve grown to love in December year-round, we've compiled a list of great houseplants to fill the gap left by your Christmas tree.
Arching Areca Palm
Chrysalidocarpus lutescens' elegant and graceful arching fronds make an incredible statement in any room.
Reaching heights of 2m with ease and options to buy 150-170cm tall available here at Hortology year-round, Arecas offer large-scale greenery and are excellent at occupying spaces otherwise reserved for 6-foot+ Christmas trees.
Majestic Money Tree
Pachira aquatica's 5-lobed leaves and lucky reputation are enough to make this the perfect 11-month placeholder for a Christmas Tree. What really makes this wonderful indoor tree stand out from the rest though, are its braided stems.
The elegantly plaited pachira stems eventually reach up to 3 metres in height, offering full floor-to-ceiling greenery.
Elegant Unbreakable Aspidistra
Resilient and robust, Aspidistra is ideal floor-standing foliage for darker corners and tricky spaces where you need "set-and-forget" foliage.
No fuss but with bucket loads of style, if you're looking to replace a plastic Christmas tree, then an Aspidistra is an especially good option.
Zesty Tropical Dracaena
Dracaena fragrans Lemon Lime is perfect for narrow spaces thanks to its slender stems and tight spread of vibrant foliage.
If your tree's footprint is tight but you have height to play with, Dracaena offer some great options.
Punk Trunk Yucca
Yucca elephantipes - Spineless Yucca is an incredibly striking upright plant with an unmistakable thick stem and straight sword-shaped leaves.
It makes quite a statement in any room, like your Christmas tree did.
Forget Fine Needles - Fiddle Leaf Fig
Ficus lyrata offers fantastic tree-scale height but contrasts the Christmas tree in one very striking way - its leaf shape.
Prized for its incredible broad paddle-shaped leaves, Fiddle Leaf Fig is an especially good choice if the pain of picking up pine needles is still raw now that Christmas is over.
Here at Hortology, we have hundreds of options of large and tall houseplants that would all make great replacements for the space left by the Christmas tree.
