FAQs

Are tropical plants high maintenance? ›

Some of these plants are more sensitive, so you might need to add more humidity in a dry atmosphere. Tropical plants benefit from regular misting to keep the humidity level high, especially during winter. A pebble tray with water is another simple and creative way to improve the humidity around your plants.

Do tropical house plants need direct sunlight? ›

Most tropicals have similar care requirements—they tend to thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunbeams can scorch the leaves of certain plants, and too little light will stunt their growth. Find a spot indoors that meets their needs.

How often do you water tropical houseplants? ›

Succulents—that happily went a month without water while semi-dormant in the winter thanks to shorter days with less light—might need to be watered every week come summer. While tropical plants might need water twice a week, compared to every 1–2 weeks in winter.

Are tropical plants good for indoor? ›

Even if you have a dry home in winter (or summer), no sunroom or bay window, and days are often cloudy, you can grow some tropicals in your home -- without pain for you or the plant. The trick is to know what conditions you can provide and what your particular type of plant needs.

Should I mist my tropical plants everyday? ›

“A lot of people don't understand the importance of misting,” adds Jenkins. “Misting is one of the top things that you can do for your houseplants. I advise my clients to mist their houseplants one to two times per week.”

How do you keep tropical house plants alive? ›

How to Care for Tropical Houseplants

  2. Most plants need water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
  3. Water with room temperature water and pour off any that collects in saucers. ...
  4. Mist plants in between waterings.

Can plants get too much LED light? ›

Plants can experience light burn or stress when they receive too much light or when the light source is too close to the canopy. Symptoms of light burn include leaf curling, bleaching, or brown spots on leaves. To prevent this, maintain a safe distance between the LED grow lights and the plant canopy.

Do tropical plants do well in shade? ›

Empower yourself to explore arrangements that include unique selections such as shade-loving perennials and tropical houseplants. Many houseplants are understory plants in their native jungles, which means they love bright, indirect light; this makes them perfect for shade containers.

Is it better to water houseplants at night or in the morning? ›

Morning watering is actually preferable to evening watering as the plant has time to dry before the sun goes down. At night, water tends to rest in the soil, around the roots, and on the foliage, which encourages rot, fungal growth, and insects.

Can you overwater tropical plants? ›

Yellowing Leaves: While yellow leaves can be a sign of several issues, overwatering is one of the most common causes. If you find the leaves of your plant turning yellow, especially when accompanied with brown squishy spots, it could be a sign that you're watering too frequently.

How often should you mist tropical plants? ›

Misting is highly recommended at least once a month, and more often with species that enjoy it (see full list below). Be sure to spray the top and underside of your leaves, and if using for cleaning your leaves, wipe the leaves down with a cloth after misting to remove dust.

What are the most popular tropical indoor plants? ›

Tropical indoor plants are typically those with large glossy or patterned foliage and are grown for their architectural stature or rampant, scrambling nature. Popular choices include: Philodendron; Monstera; Pothos; Kentia Palm; Majesty Palm; Strelitzia.

Do tropical plants do well in a bathroom? ›

Many of the best plants for the bathroom are tropical, as the humidity from the shower and the often low or indirect light mimic the plant's native climate.

What plant requires the most maintenance? ›

Among the best-known high-maintenance plants for indoor gardeners are the azalea, African violet and Bonsai tree: Azaleas require cooler temperatures and constant dampness to thrive, and certain varieties, including white azaleas, require even more special care.

Are tropical plants easy to grow? ›

The majority of tropical plants are easy to care for and make thoughtful gifts for loved ones. Popular houseplants like philodendrons and ferns thrive in warmer temperatures but are pretty tolerant and don't require much by way of maintenance, but they do crave humidity.
