Indoor plants with large, lush leaves

That lonely corner in your house, it’s begging for a good, big leaf houseplant to perk things up and transform the area into an oxygen-providing oasis. But first and foremost, when choosing houseplants, especially big-leafed plants, a good percentage of these plants would do well in bright, indirect light.

The plant should be situated near, but not in front of the window, to prevent scorched leaves, and rotating the plant a quarter turn weekly would ensure all sides receive adequate light.
