Went all in on some new large indoor plants. My home has a lot of beautiful natural light \& the white walls were screaming for some large living plants!

Would love any tips you have for keeping these beauties alive and thriving, or if you see anything concerning please give me your advice. The large elephant ear looks like it needs to be thinned- but I’m scared to chop.

I have some smaller hydroponic house plants that do well, but large plants in soil scare me. Have grown successful large outdoor gardens in the past!
