Large Sun-Loving Indoor Plant Suggestions for Bright Room

Top Picks for Your NW Room with Skylights

• Variegated Ficus (Ficus benjamina 'Variegata') — tree form, handles sun, dramatic.
• Variegated Schefflera (Schefflera arboricola 'Variegata') — bushy, colorful, tough.
• Hibiscus (tropical) — blooms in high light, needs consistent water/feed.
• Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii) — tall, narrow, Asian aesthetic, but prefers less sun.
• Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia nicolai) — huge leaves, architectural, loves sun.
• Citrus (dwarf) — fragrant flowers, fruit, needs max sun.

Critical: Pot-in-Urn

Keep plant in nursery pot inside the urn. Never plant directly in urn without drainage. Empty urn saucer after watering.

Watering Rule

Sun + heat = faster drying. Check daily. Water when top 1–2 inches dry. Deep soak, drain.

Asian Aesthetic Picks

Bamboo palm, Ficus 'Ginseng' (bonsai look), Schefflera 'Amate', or a large jade (Crassula ovata) in a ceramic pot.

Match plant to your actual sun hours (measure with light meter or observe). Variegated ficus or schefflera are safest bets for high light + size + drama.
