Hi planty dopers, I’m looking for some possible species to try in our dining room. We have a spot in the dining room, which has french doors on to the patio - you’d really expect there to be a lot more light than there actually is - which has already killed/maimed a ficus “Decora” and a false aralia - *Plerandra *(ex. Schlefflera) elegantissima. They both seemed to do well at first, new leaves, healthy looking, but then started dropping foliage.
I’m looking for something tall rather than bushy, maybe up to 5ft. I do have a lovely Monstera deliciosa nearby which is starting to climb; if I were to train it up a trellis, I might get the height I’m looking for. Now, though, it’s only 2ft tall, and wouldn’t really fill the space as I’d like.
Does it exist, a tall houseplant that can do dim lighting?
