Indoor Tropical Plants

Caring for indoor tropical plants is not at all as daunting as it may sound. Plants are perhaps the only living organisms that don't need to be constantly fussed over. Just provide them with basic generic care, maybe, except an exotic species, and they will bloom and stay green for years to come.The foremost requirement is an evaluation about its growing conditions. Even though some plants are tropical, they do not do well indoors, outside their native environment. Indoor tropical plants need adequate light, temperature, humidity, fertilization, watering and space. So while selecting your plant, study light and climatic conditions of your home. For most common indoor tropical plants, light need not be direct sunlight. Diffused or filtered lighting would be just fine.

As most indoor plants are pot bound, the right sized container along with the material of the container will make loads of difference to the plant's health. Container gardening is the best medium to grow these plants. So feed your plant well, with compost and coarse sand mixed soil. The pots should be large enough to allow root growth, and small enough to get the best out of the plant's appearance.
