What it needs to grow tall: Bright & indirect light, clean leaves, a snug pot

A tropical tree with a unique braided stem, the Money Tree got its name from ancient Chinese folklore, where it was the answer to a poor farmer's prayers for wealth and success. Today, it's still considered a great plant for attracting abundance at home in feng shui. Give it bright, indirect light, water it every one to two weeks, be sure to clean off its leaves every so often, and your Money Tree should thrive. Pro tip: Since Money Trees have small root systems, they don't need a ton of room and will grow better in smaller pots.

What it needs to grow tall: Time between waterings

There are many varieties of snake plant—all of which share the plant's signature wide, fleshy leaves. Most snake plants are incredibly low-maintenance, and while they can be slow to grow, some varieties, like the Sansevieria laurentii, can eventually reach 6 feet tall. Since they're technically succulents that hail from the desert, snake plants know to store extra moisture in their leaves. This means that they can last a few weeks between waterings and shouldn't be watered too often (or misted ever).

What it needs to grow tall: Moist soil, proactive pest protection

Rich in thin, dense leaves, the bamboo palm adds a tropical touch to any room. These palms are native to the forest understory of Mexico and Central America, so they appreciate less intense lighting and lots of moisture. (This is one plant you don't want to stick in front of a window that gets lots of direct sun.) Bamboo palms tend to be super easy to care for, but they are prone to pests. Watch out for mealybugs and spider mites on their leaves, and treat any infested areas with neem oil.

Often referred to as the less finicky relative of the Fiddle Leaf Fig, the Ficus Audrey delivers just as much drama as its trendy cousin. It's a vigorous grower in its native climate of India and Pakistan—and in the wild, this fig is known to strangle other trees. You can nurse this tall houseplant to life by recreating the warm, humid conditions it comes from. Give it bright, indirect light, make sure its soil dries out between waterings, and mist its leaves every so often or place it near a humidifier.

It can thrive in bright, indirect light and will really get growing with occasional fertilizing. Don't let the name fool you: While this plant doesn't naturally grow upward, it's a fast and furious climber. Secure a stake or trellis behind it, and you can train it to climb up your walls for an overgrown jungle look.

The Rubber Plant's sap was used to make rubber in the 1900s, but these days it's mostly prized for its unique waxy, dark green leaves. Native to Southeast Asia, this is a plant that appreciates a lot of sunlight. It'll grow the fastest in a bright window, ideally one that faces south or west. Be sure to move your plant into a bigger pot every one to two years to make room for all that new growth, and fertilize occasionally to give it the proper fuel.

Native to the tropics, this is one plant that would do well next to a humidifier and away from any drafty doors or open windows.
