Top 10 Tropical House Plants Anyone Can Grow

Indoor house plants are becoming so popular among gardeners. They bring beauty, fragrance and color to our homes and enhance our home with year round enjoyment. One of the problems houseplants can face is low light.

However, there are several varieties that do very well in low light environments.

Here are the top 10 suggestions for tropical house plants:

1. Dracaena Corn Plant

This is an easy to grow and maintain tropical house plant that produces a main stem with long green leaves. The stems can grow to over four feet tall and can occasionally produce a small white flower at the top.

2. The Dragon Tree

This is one of the most popular house plants of a tropical nature to grow. These slow plants take about 10 years to reach full maturity height of 5 feet, but along the way they have a beautiful lush appearance with long thin leaves. Direct sunlight can be harmful to the leaves.

3. Parlor Palm

The Parlor Palm plants thrive under low light conditions and require very little water. Just keep the soil a bit moist and with patience, the plant will mature to about three feet tall.

House plants of a more tropical variety that prefer indirect sunlight:

4. Jade Plant

The Jade Plant requires lots of light, plenty of water at the right time, and produces thick oval shaped leaves. Drainage is important since water sitting around the roots can lead to rot. Lastly, a dose of weak fertilizer a couple of times per month will pay nice dividends.

5. African Violet

This is a wonderful tropical house plant to grow because it actually produces very colorful flowers that can be maintained for most of the year.  Healthy African Violets are relatively small house plants that will mature to about 12 inches in diameter, which is a very manageable size.

6. Aloe Vera

Well known for various health benefits especially to clean indoor air, Aloe Veras are very easy to grow and maintain as house plants. They should not be given too much direct sunlight. The Aloe Vera is a succulent which means that its leaves retain a lot of water, similar to cactus plants.

7. Spider Plant

Keep them in a well lit location with no direct sunlight and provide plenty of water except in winter.  The only other maintenance is removing the browning leaves as they die off so that new growth can continue.

 Three more house plants of a more tropical variety:

8. Bird of Paradise

While there are several varieties, make sure you grow what is called the “S. retinae”…the only one suitable for growing indoors. It takes at least three years before you will see your first flowers and requires regular fertilizing. So be patient, as almost all tropical varieties require patience and waiting.

9. Anthurium

These are a bit more difficult to grow than most tropical house plants, but well worth the effort. Don’t let the temperature drop below 60 F. and make sure the soil is consistently moist.

10. Orchids

Popular around the world, the hardest thing about growing Orchids is selecting the variety you want…there are hundreds of them in a wide array of colors! They like a good amount of light, high humidity and warm temperature of at least 60 F. Wait until AFTER the first bloom and then go ahead and re-pot the whole plant.
