what trees do well inside
Citrus trees also do well indoors, as long as they are provided with at least four hours of direct sunlight each day. A citrus tree can be kept in a breakfast room or on an enclosed porch with plenty of light, or it can be moved to take advantage of the sunshine.
Many types of palms do well indoors. Some palm trees, such as the parlor palms will grow in low light conditions and others, such as the Pygmy date palm, rarely grow more than 10 feet tall, making them ideal for indoor use. Palm trees can give your home an exotic, tropical feel and are low maintenance.
Bonsai is a miniature alternative for an indoor tree. Many types of palm trees grow naturally in rain forests or areas that typically have tropical or subtropical climates, but can be grown indoors as well.
