Large/tall house plant suggestions

[Accy cyclist]

As some of you may know, i've grown quite fond of my palm tree since i bought it a month or two ago, "He's" now growing so fast that he's even started to outgrow his latest plant pot, I bought and painted a bigger planter but on measuring both pots i think the new one wont be big enough for long,so i'm after a new plant for the new planter. I want something that'll grow fast and grow tall. I've thought about an Aspidistra and a Swiss Cheese Plant but i don't think they're fast growers and do look a bit boring. I've thought about one of these

but i've heard they're quite fast growing. My ceiling height is 14ft, so i have a fair bit of height. for a plant to grow to. Any suggestions will be welcome!

Swap your cow for some magic beans.

Go to Ikea and buy yourself some meatballs in the cafe and a Yucca plant.

Tiger palm or weeping fig.

Cannabis, should pay for its own upkeep too

I've thought about that as i do like the smell and the look of the plant. I'd have to buy a sunlamp which are about 100 quid for a decent one,but it'd come in handy for giving the palm a bit of sunshine and topping my tan up!

Devil's Palm, or if you can hack the maintenance, a bamboo?

You're really suggesting a Leylandii indoors? You really are off your turnip!!!

Of the above suggestions I'd say go with Crackle and his Yucca plant. They are difficult to kill (I'm on about the Yucca here, not Crackle !)

Aspidistra is boring and not quite tall enough.

Your idea of a Swiss cheese plant is good.

Leylandii.....

How high is your ceiling?

A plastic palm tree or more, maybe:

IMHO anyone planting Leylandii anywhere is off their turnip.

Venus flytrap, then you can feed it stuff

Yes,but think of the fun watching it grow a foot a day! Seriously though,if i did plant one remember it'd be in a plant pot,so when it'd get too big i'd just put it outside.

It'll die first. Too warm, too dry, too inside.

If you fancy a conifer look at Norfolk Island Pine

Yes an all year round Christmas tree sounds good.
