Indoor Tropical PlantsIndoor tropical plants are a delight to live with. Surround yourself with tropical house plants and be transported from the bitter cold north to the steamy tropics without leaving home.
Care will need to be taken when deciding which plants to invest in and where to place them. A good strategy would be to first decide where you want the plant to live. That will tell you how large or small a plant to look for. Then look for a plant that fits the space size-wise and will tolerate the light conditions. For instance, you may have a corner behind a chair in your living room which would accommodate a rather large pot. Perhaps the ceiling is vaulted so a tall plant, or even a small tree, could be staged there. If you use the corner to read in and the light is subdued when you are not reading, you will have to choose a plant that will tolerate low light levels. A lady palm might live happily in this location. A banana plant will not. If the aforementioned corner is drenched in light for the majority of the day, your choices will greatly expand. You could grow a potted lemon tree or a yucca if you like spiky, architectural plants. A corn plant or any of the Dracaenas would thrive.
