Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, tropical houseplants with an exotic look take us on a journey around the world where scents and colors intertwine with the beauty of shapes.
However, you don’t need to cross the South Seas to appreciate the beauty of these plants since many of these tropical plants can be easily grown indoors! Even if you live in the heart of winter.
Whether standing on the floor, hanging from shelves and hanging baskets or draped on windowsills – green and flowering indoor plants from tropical rainforests give your home the look of an exotic jungle.
Usually appreciated for their majestic size, amazing, often glossy, and colorful foliage, but many of these flowering tropical species will produce brightly colored and intoxicating fragrant blooms indoors.
While a few of these exotic beauties don’t survive long as houseplants because they make special demands on their environment, but most tropical plants have a certain adaptability that allows them to thrive in less than ideal environments.
Bromeliads, flamingo flowers, orchids, tropical ferns, palm trees, monstera and philodendrons are some of the most magnificent tropical plants you can grow indoors. These low-maintenance exotic beauties make excellent houseplants because they enjoy warm temperatures, average humidity, and moderate light—the typical conditions of indoor spaces.
So, to choose the best one for your space, you need to know what “presence” it has in your living room or study and the specific care it likes.
To make things a bit easier, I’ve rounded up the 15 most beautiful and exotic looking tropical plants to keep indoors, along with tips on how to keep these beauties thriving to bring that tropical vibe into your living space that you dream of.
