13 Best Tropical Plants That Can Thrive Anywhere
Give your home vacation vibes.
Tropical plants are the secret to bringing fun to your foliage and your home or garden. No matter the season, give beauties like bromeliads, philodendrons, or any monstera variety the right care and they'll flourish into plants you can proudly admire. Hailing from warm-weather locales from Australia to South America, tropical plants are just as stunning as tropical flowers, and they can deliver the impact that's been missing in your decor. Why pack your bags to take in all that nature has to offer when you can admire the world's natural wonders from the comfort of your home?
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. If your home is more on the dry side, bring your plant into areas that garner higher humidity levels, like your bathroom. They'll love a steamy shower as much as you do.
From sprawling leaves that can run up your walls to potted succulents that make people watching from your window twice as fun, bright tropical plants are instant mood boosters. To narrow down the must-haves you'll need in your personal jungle, we found the most popular tropical plants and looked up everything you need to know about taking care of them. Below, take in the bold tropical plants that uplift your decor and your mood.
