Tropical Plant Collection FAQs

What types of plants are included in the Tropicals collection?


This collection includes tropical plants selected for bold foliage, distinctive form, and strong visual impact. These plants are typically native to warm climates and are valued for their lush appearance and dramatic presence.

Many are well suited for container growing, allowing them to be enjoyed seasonally in a wide range of settings.

Can tropical plants be grown outdoors year-round?


Most tropical plants are not cold-hardy and are grown outdoors only during warm months in many regions. Exposure to frost or prolonged cold temperatures can cause damage or decline.

In cooler climates, tropicals are often moved indoors or protected once temperatures begin to drop.

Are tropical plants better suited for containers or garden beds?


Tropical plants are commonly grown in containers, which makes it easier to control soil conditions and move plants as needed. Container growing also supports seasonal use on patios, porches, and outdoor living spaces.

Some varieties may be planted in garden beds in warm climates, but container growing offers the most flexibility for most gardeners.

How much light do tropical plants typically need?


Light requirements vary by plant, but many tropicals prefer bright, indirect light or filtered sun. Consistent light supports healthy growth and vibrant foliage.

Understanding each plant’s light preference helps prevent stress and supports long-term performance.

Are tropical plants difficult to care for?


Care needs vary by species, but many tropical plants are manageable with attention to light, watering, and temperature. Maintaining consistent conditions is often more important than frequent intervention.

Choosing plants that match your environment helps simplify care and improve results.

How can tropical plants be used in home or garden design?


Tropical plants are often used to create a bold, immersive look in outdoor living spaces, containers, and seasonal displays. Their foliage and form can act as focal points or complement other plants with contrasting textures.

Incorporating tropicals can instantly change the feel of a space, adding a relaxed, resort-inspired atmosphere.
