Palms are a good choice because of their height. The kentia is very popular and is available to purchase from many garden stores. The arching fronds can grow up to 1ft in length and it's possible for the plant to grow over 10ft tall. They are an easy plant to care for and maintain.

The heartleaf philodendron is a popular climber type plant grown indoors. To enable these to become large house plants you'll need to grow them on a 'moss stick' which will encourage it to climb over 5ft tall. Glossy heart shaped leaves make them very attractive.

The Calathea zebrina is a plant I can suggest because of its large leaves rather that its height, although it will grow up to a meter tall. Other Calatheas also display large patterned leaves including the C. oranata and C. rosepicta from the Marantaceae plant family.

The Bird's nest fern displays large fronds that grow 2ft in length when given the correct conditions that can enable them to thrive. They're ideal for displaying in conservatories and need enough light and humidity to grow well. Displayed close to other plants can improve the important humidity factor.
