Tropical Plants

Tropical plants require consistently warmer temperatures and more humid environments than regular plants. These plants also come in both blooming and foliage plants. Bromeliads, palms, and orchids are considered types tropical plants.

These plants are quite hardy, growing quite well as houseplants in more northern climates. However, they do require a little more care regarding humidity and moisture.

Contrary to what you might expect, most tropical plants do not do well in direct sunlight and should be located in shadier environments. Because many of these plants naturally grow near the sea, many species of these plants can tolerate higher than average salt levels.
