Just what I wanted for my front porch.. Lee. St. Petersburg, FL. Wed May 06 2026

One of the most colorful Dracaena varieties available. The red tinted foliage adds a decorative accent to any room. May be grown outdoors during frost-free weather. Use it as a potted plant, in the garden, or mixed with colorful annual plants in a large patio planter. Its easy to care for, requiring little light or water, and is quite hardy in most temperatures. The Madagascar Dragon Tree is characterized by long, narrow leaves that are extremely spiky. The foliage is generally dark green with edges that are adorned with a reddish purple and can grow up to 16 inches in length. As the tree grows, it will naturally lose its lowest leaves leaving tufts of leaves atop a bare woody cane. Marginata is the coolest looking variety. It grows slower than the other varieties, but has a much more vibrant red pink coloration. Dragon trees do best in partial shade. This means that if youre growing indoors, you should have it on a north-facing windowsill, near one facing east or west, and further away from one facing south. You will know youre giving the plant too much light if the leaves burn. On the flip side, youll know you arent giving it enough light when the accent colors on the leaves start to fade.

Mandevilla, also known as rocktrumpet, is a genus of flowering vines that grow in tropical and subtropical climates. The five-petal flowers are often showy and fragrant, typically coming in shades of pink, red, and white, occasionally with yellow throats. They generally bloom in summer and can stretch into fall, though in warm climates they can bloom year-round. Some species within the genus have smaller, more plentiful blooms while others have fewer, larger blooms. Their foliage is usually a glossy green. Within their USDA growing zones, mandevilla plants can be grown as perennials; gardeners outside of their zones often like to grow them as annuals, especially in containers. These fast-growing vines should be planted in mid-to-late spring once the temperature is reliably warm and the risk of frost has passed. Mandevilla plants are fairly easy to care for as long as you get their growing conditions right. The vines thrive in lots of light, warmth, and moisture, so plan to water yours whenever the soil begins to dry out, and feed your plant during the growing season. If you wish to promote a bushier growth habit on these vines, pinch back the stems in early spring. If you let them naturally grow as vines, its a good idea to provide them with a trellis or other structure they can climb around. The vines also look great in hanging baskets.

If you are lucky enough to live in USDA hardiness zones 8 to 11, you can grow a banana plant (Musa spp.) outdoors and let it get as large and spread as wide as the space you have in your garden. But if you're hankering for a tropical environment and live in a colder zone, you can still grow this stunning specimen indoors in a container. Most types of bananas plants prefer to grow in full sun, meaning at least six hours of direct sunlight on most days. However, some varieties can scorch easily and will do better in partial shade. These plants love organically rich, deep soil with good drainage and a slightly acidic soil pH. They typically have poor tolerance for salt in the soil. Banana trees are tropical and originate in rainforests, so they need a lot of water and plenty of moisture in the air. They do best when planted in groups fairly close together, as this helps to retain moisture in the leaves. Water regularly to make sure the soil stays evenly moist but not soggy. Avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot. These plants thrive in warm, humid conditions, but they don't like temperature extremes. Even the hardy, cold-tolerant banana tree species prefer consistent temperatures ranging between 75 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Pencil Cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli) also commonly called milk bush due to its thick, white sap is native to semi-arid tropical regions of Africa and India. In the wild, the Pencil Cactus can grow up to 30 feet tall and well over 6 feet indoors. This stem succulent is not a true cactus and photosynthesizes in its stems, not through the small leaves that appear at the end of its new growth (which are inconsequential to the plants health). The plants have slender, slightly toothed stems without any foliage growth. The name derives from the branches, which are about the diameter of a pencil. When new branches sprout, the end of the branch can be tinted slightly pink and tiny leaves may appear. These leaves will disappear once the branch matures. The pencil cactus needs high levels of light and moderately low moisture. It is an excellent houseplant and provides an interesting silhouette.

This palm is also a great choice for those looking for a lower maintenance option compared to other popular indoor palms like the Areca or Fishtail Palm. When it comes to caring for your Licuala Peltata Palm Tree, regular watering is essential to keep the soil evenly moist. Be sure to avoid over-watering or letting the soil dry out completely, as this can harm the roots and lead to yellowing of the leaves. In addition, this palm will benefit from regular misting to increase humidity and keep the leaves looking healthy and vibrant. With its lush green leaves, the Licuala Peltata Palm Tree makes a beautiful and tropical statement in any indoor or outdoor space. This plant is easy to care for and will provide years of enjoyment with the right amount of light, water, and humidity. Whether you're looking to spruce up your home or office, or add a touch of tropical beauty to your garden, the Licuala Peltata Palm Tree is the perfect choice.

An evergreen shrub or tree with drooping branches, the leaves are alternate, simple, long-tipped, and glossy. The flowers and fruits are enclosed in a fleshy sac that turns from green to orange-red to red and then purplish black. Ficus benjaminia is a very popular houseplant because of its tolerance of poor growing conditions. It performs best in bright sunny locations but will also survive in shade. It is very sensitive to light so if the plant is moved, expect it to drop leaves and produce new ones that are accustomed to the new light conditions. Water regularly to keep soil from completely drying out. The plant does not require misting. It is intolerant to cold and should be kept away from drafts. It has been shown to effectively remove indoor air pollutants. Ficus benjamina, commonly called weeping fig, is native from India to northern Australia. It is a broadleaf evergreen tree that grows to 50 tall. It is widely grown in the tropics as an ornamental tree or hedge. Trunks are sometimes braided for ornamental interest. Glossy, pointed, oval to elliptic leaves (to 4 long). Twigs arch gracefully. Stems have milky sap. This tree rarely flowers or fruits indoors. Even if flowers were produced, fruit production would still be unlikely in large part because of the absence of the necessary pollinating wasps.

A low-branching, bushy tree originating in Central America, Annona muricata is known as soursop in English and guanabana in El Salvador and other Spanish-speaking countries. The soursop tree, which can grow from 25 to 30 feet tall, produces an oval-shaped fruit with tender yellow-green skin and white, juicy flesh often made into drinks, sherbet, preserves and sweets. Grown in a variety of countries, including Mexico, the West Indies, northern South America, China, Australia and Africa, soursop prefers a tropical climate and cannot survive a frost, often suffering damage at 30 degrees Fahrenheit and dying at 26 degrees Fahrenheit. U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 and 11 in rich, well-drained soil with 5 to 6.5 pH suit this warm-weather plant best. Water soursop plants often enough to keep the soil moist, but not wet, during hot weather. When the weather turns cool in the winter, reduce water intake. Soursop plants tolerate drought well, but can develop pest problems if kept too wet.

Dracaena Lisa is a very widely used indoor floor plant. Its dark green leaves and stems are its defining characteristics. Unlike the very similar Janet Craig, Lisa has much thicker stalks that can be solid green or blended green and tan. Lisa's foliage (in comparison to JC's) is more narrow, compact, shorter in length, and stands more upright. Lisa is very easy to keep healthy, and is highly tolerant to many indoor lighting conditions, including lower light. Like most Dracaenas, it is slow growing, so it can maintain its size and shape for some time without much maintenance. It can tolerate low light (not no light) conditions much better than other interior Dracaena varieties like Mass Cane, Compacta, Marginata, Warnekii, and Rikki. Lisa can also tolerate low light much better than most other houseplants. If placed in a low light area, much care must be taken when watering. Over-watering can happen very easily in low light since a plant's productivity slows as its light decreases. Since Lisa operates on the slow side anyway, the plant can become nearly dormant in low light. Moisture soil or lava moisture should be carefully checked before watering. It can survive well in high light but has the tendency to lose its deep green color. High light conditions will increase the amount of water it will need and can also increase growth and the development of mealy bug.

Handsome, sturdy specimen with exceptionally straight trunk topped by glossy, feathery fronds. Great vertical effect for large gardens. Useful for park and street plantings. Evergreen. With its crinkled fronds, Queen is among the most graceful of the palms. This stately landscape palm grows more frost tolerant as it ages, but won't stand up to a hard or prolonged freeze. A good candidate for oceanfront landscapes and larger homesites inland, provided there are few gusts of hot wind to tatter its fronds. The best and most adaptable candidate for tropical, semitropical and postmodern landscapes. Although it casts little shade, this palm makes a fine street tree. Grow as a single specimen or in clusters of three to five. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.

The ficus Alii, or Amstel King as it is sometimes called, is a large plant that originally came from Asia, Malaysia, and India. It was first grown commercially in Hawaii where it got the Hawaiian name alii which means king. Although a ficus Alii is closely related to the ficus Benjamina, the Alii variety is much more tolerant and forgiving. The long, narrow leaves are naturally glossy and taper to a point. As this ficus tree grows, it may drop its lower leaves revealing a bare woody trunk, giving this tree a palm-like appearance. Care is easier than for many of its relatives. You'll find it's less temperamental than F. benjamina, that drops its leaves when it doesn't get what it wants. However, leaf drop is possible with 'Alii' if it doesn't get enough light and regular waterings. The Ficus alii braid image that you can see here got its name from its braided trunks. Its long slender dark green leaves provides an oriental look. This appeal makes it an extremely attractive plant that is appealing both to the interior plantscape industry and to the home market. Moreover, it is believed to have the ability to purify the air. Growth tips are pronounced pink to red that beautifully contrasts against its broad, longer, wider, banana-shaped glossy leaves.

Introduce the elegance of nature to your home with the Marble Queen Pothos (Epipremnum Aureum 'Marble Queen'). This exquisite indoor plant features stunning variegated leaves with a beautiful blend of green and creamy white, making it a standout addition to any indoor space. Known for its hardy nature and low maintenance requirements, this hanging basket plant is perfect for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.

The bluestem palmetto has a trunk that, in Florida, rarely emerges from the ground and rarely produces side shoots. Sabal minor is reported to have reached 18 feet tall in Texas. The dark green, costapalmate leaves vary in size depending on the age of the plant but may reach a length of 5 feet. The fan-shaped leaves of the bluestem palmetto are palmately lobed and segmented with the segments split to 23 their length. Bluestem palmetto will perform quite well as a specimen in a small garden. Its large leaves and small size make it stand out in the company of other plants. It is also impressive when massed as a tall ground cover. Plant shrubs 4 to 6 feet apart to establish a dense ground cover. Sabal minor is valued for its hardiness and tropical appearance. It must have a full-sun to partial-shade position in the landscape. The plant is adaptable to many soil types as long as they are well-drained, and it is drought tolerant. These palms will even grow well on relatively shallow soils.

The Mango Tree (Mangifera indica) is a fast-growing tropical fruit tree prized for its lush foliage, fragrant blossoms, and delicious fruit. Known for its glossy, evergreen leaves and broad canopy, this tree adds both visual appeal and practical value to any landscape. When mature, mango trees can reach heights of 30 to 100 feet depending on variety and growing conditions, although container-grown or grafted types remain more compact. Each spring or early summer, the tree produces small, cream-colored flower clusters that eventually yield one of the worlds most sought-after tropical fruits. Mangoes range in flavor from rich and spicy to sweet and citrusy, and typically ripen during the warmest months of the year. This heat-loving tree thrives in subtropical to tropical climates and adapts well to both ground planting and large containers in warmer zones. Ideal for home gardeners seeking a reliable, productive fruit tree, the Mango Tree offers not only flavorful harvests but also ornamental value, with its dense crown, long leaves, and striking seasonal growth.

Unlike many traditional mango varieties, Keo Savoy mangoes are often enjoyed while still firm and green, offering a refreshing and crunchy bite with a clean, mildly sweet flavor that makes them popular in Southeast Asian cuisine. The tree itself is moderately vigorous with an upright, open canopy, making it easy to manage in both large garden spaces and smaller tropical yards. Its fruits are medium to large in size, oval-shaped, and ripen to a pale green or light yellow color depending on when they are harvested. When eaten ripe, the flesh becomes softer and juicier, delivering a slightly sweeter profile, but many prefer to enjoy it while still crisp for its unique texture and balance of sweet and tangy notes. This dual-purpose nature makes the Keo Savoy mango especially unique among mango trees. It ripens mid to late season and is known for its long shelf life, even when harvested green. For growers looking for a refreshing, crunchy, and mildly sweet mango with cultural and culinary versatility, the Keo Savoy is an outstanding choice.

This beautiful variety is actually a random mutation of the variety Hilo Girl. Its a compact, upright plant perfect for filling in a narrow space or used in a patio planter. The foliage has a natural glossy sheen that enhances the light and dark green striped leaves. May be grown indoors during winter if placed in a bright location. Hawaiian Sunshine (Dracaena Hawaiian Sunshine) is a green dracaena (D. deremensis) cultivar that was developed from the Lisa (D. Lisa) cultivar. The plant is characterized by dark green, downward facing leaves that are marked with clean, bold chartreuse variegation. It is notable for its strong, consistent color and durability as a house plant. Like other Dracaena plants, Hawaiian Sunshine is fairly low maintenance and adaptable. Hawaiian Sunshine is grown easily as a houseplant, accepting a variety of lighting conditions. Bright, indirect light is ideal, though Hawaiian Sunshine will tolerate dimmer light. Dracaenas prefer daytime house temperatures between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and nighttime temperatures that are about 10 degrees cooler. These tropical plants can grow outdoors only in frost-free conditions. Any climate zones lower than U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10B and 11 probably will be too cold for Hawaiian Sunshine.

Dracaena fragrans, commonly known as corn plant, is a popular, durable, easy-to-grow indoor houseplant that is native to tropical Africa. Although it may soar to 20 tall or more in its native habitat, it more often is seen in the 4-6 tall range as a container plant in the U.S. Rosettes of evergreen, parallel-veined, sword-shaped, bright green leaves typically grow to 2 long and 3 wide indoors in containers, but may reach 3 long in outdoor locations. Over time, plants lose their lower leaves revealing bare stems. Fragrant, tiny, white-yellow flowers in round heads appear in terminal panicles. Flowers may be followed by red berries. Flowers and berries rarely appear on indoor plants, however. Limelight features bright, glossy yellow-green leaves which mature to a light lime green. Slow growth rate. Typically thrives in low light interior settings. Matures to 15 tall when grown in the ground outdoors but to a smaller 6 tall when grown indoors in a container. This plant should be grown in bright indirect sunlight, but is known to tolerate lower light levels. Dracaenas require even moisture, good soil drainage, and cannot tolerate standing water. Allow soils to dry slightly between waterings, but never allow the soils to totally dry out. Plants tolerate a wide range of indoor temperatures, but are best grown in temperatures of 60-75 degrees F. Plant containers may be placed outdoors in summer but should always be brought back indoors in early fall before outdoor temperatures begin to dip below 50 degrees F. This is a frost-free tropical perennial.

Trumpet trees are loved for their dazzling display of blossoms that burst forth ahead of their leaves in spring. Traditionally known as Tabebuia, some of these trees are now recognized with a different botanical name. The common name refers to the elongated flowers that resemble a trumpet. Handroanthus chrysanthus (formerly Tabebuia chrysotricha), is commonly called golden trumpet tree. This fast growing tree is great for Central and South Florida. Reaching a height of 25 to 35 feet tall with a spread of 25 to 35 feet, H. chrysanthus has brilliant yellow flowers that bloom in the spring just after the foliage drops away. These trees are relatively easy to grow and it seems that everyone wants one when they are flowering. This deciduous tree is native to South and Central America, and has been introduced to the Caribbean islands, United States, Kenya, and India. It grows best in warm and moist climates when in full sun. Sometimes evergreen but most often deciduous, golden trumpet tree has four-inch-long silvery leaves with tan, fuzzy undersides. These leaves drop for a short period in April to May, and it is at this time that the trees put on their heaviest flowering display, the trumpet-shaped, bright yellow blossoms appearing in clusters. Some trees produce a small number of flowers sporadically throughout the warm season. The eight-inch-long seeds which follow are brown, hairy, and persist on the tree through the winter.

A cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale) is an evergreen tree and nut tree belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. It is native to northeastern Brazil and southeastern Venezuela in South America. The fruit of the cashew tree (known in Central America as maran) grows from the flowers pedicels. Cashew fruits are commonly called cashew apples and are commonly used in jams and jellies, though they are technically an accessory fruit rather than a true fruit. Mature trees also produce cashew seeds, which are actually the trees distinctive cashew nuts. The cashew nut is high in calcium, vitamin C, and carbohydrates. Cashew nuts belong to the same family as the pistachio nut and are useful for making creamy nut butter. Grow your cashew tree in a warm climate. Cashew trees grow best in USDA hardiness zones ten and eleven. Provide at least six hours of daily direct sunlight for maximum growth of these fruit trees. Cashew trees that get too much shade tend to produce fewer cashew seeds.

The Mango Tree (Mangifera indica) is a fast-growing tropical fruit tree prized for its lush foliage, fragrant blossoms, and delicious fruit. Known for its glossy, evergreen leaves and broad canopy, this tree adds both visual appeal and practical value to any landscape. When mature, mango trees can reach heights of 30 to 100 feet depending on variety and growing conditions, although container-grown or grafted types remain more compact. Each spring or early summer, the tree produces small, cream-colored flower clusters that eventually yield one of the worlds most sought-after tropical fruits. Mangoes range in flavor from rich and spicy to sweet and citrusy, and typically ripen during the warmest months of the year. This heat-loving tree thrives in subtropical to tropical climates and adapts well to both ground planting and large containers in warmer zones. Ideal for home gardeners seeking a reliable, productive fruit tree, the Mango Tree offers not only flavorful harvests but also ornamental value, with its dense crown, long leaves, and striking seasonal growth. With the right placement and care, it can become a centerpiece of your edible landscape, orchard, or patio garden. A rewarding tree for growers who appreciate beauty and bounty in one.The 'Carrie' mango tree is a highly regarded Florida variety known for its exceptional flavor, compact size, and early fruiting.

It adapts well to partial shade, making it ideal for understory plantings or spaces with filtered sunlight. Whether used as an accent plant, a natural privacy screen, or a feature in tropical garden designs, the Dwarf Sugar Palm brings a touch of exotic charm with minimal maintenance.

It is a tropical tree which makes a fine addition to a South Florida gardener's backyard fruit orchard. A native of the West Indies, it is a small, attractive, fast-growing tree that won't reach much more than 12 feet, although it can be kept clipped back to shrub size. It's leaves are small and evergreen, borne densely on rather brittle branches. The branches of some varieties droop; others are quite upright. The bright pink, five-petaled flowers are small but pretty, with the trees blooming mainly from April through October although some blossoms appear year around. Fruiting is from May to November, but again, a few cherries may be picked now and then throughout the winter. Barbados cherry, or acerola, is a large, bushy shrub or small tree that reaches mature heights of about 12 feet (3.5 m.). This attractive shrub produces thick, bright green leaves. Small, pinkish-lavender flowers bloom from spring to fall, and may pop up year round in warmer climates usually after irrigation or a rainfall. Harvest Barbados cherries when the fruit is fully ripe. Wear gloves, though, because the fuzz on the stems and leaves can irritate the skin, especially when the tree is young.

Adenium desert rose plants are perfect specimens for the intrepid or novice gardener. These East African and Arabian natives are wonderful in the interior container garden or as warm climate additions to the patio display. Caring for desert rose plants requires a full sun location and well-drained soil. Properly mimicking their native regional conditions will garner plenty of rose-like blooms on an architectural marvel of a plant. Desert rose is a low-maintenance succulent that produces dozens of trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of pink, rose, or white in the summer. Like many succulents, it needs conditions that are bright, warm, and dry. Desert rose (Adenium obesum) and its many hybrids are often seen in retail garden centers. Flowers average and may be single, double, or even triple. To maintain the profuse flowering, the plants must six hours or more of bright light each day. Desert rose makes a dramatic specimen for a deck or patio but since it's sensitive to temperatures below 40 degrees, its usually grown in containers that can be brought inside for winter. South Florida gardeners can grow this as a small shrub.

This vigorous, showy vine shines with bright, magenta-red, petal-like bracts. Creates a fine cover for patios or arbors, and is a dramatic groundcover for banks when allowed to ramble unsupported. Drought tolerant when established. Evergreen in frost-free climates; provides superb warm season color in colder winter areas. The Bougainvillea variety Barbara Karst is a marriage of toughness and beauty. Not only does Barbara Karst handle desert heat well, it has been noted as hardy down to 25F. From spring, all the way through summer, the relatively inconspicuous blossoms of Barbara Karst are surrounded by bracts of such a bright magenta-red color that they almost look unreal, though in light shade the bracts will take on a more earthly violet cast. Plant in full sun to bring out the bright color of the bracts, if planted in more shade the color will dull to a reddish-blue. It requires very little irrigation along the coast once established.

Dracaena Rikki (Dracaena deremenis Rikki) is a relatively new type of dracaena recognized by arching, deep green leaves, each marked with a yellow stripe running lengthwise down the center of the leaves. Dracaena Rikki is a fast-growing plant that reaches heights of 8 to 12 feet at maturity. This tough, low-maintenance plant is suitable for planting outdoors in the warmer climates of U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10b through 11. Dracaena Rikki is a relatively new cultivar belonging to the deremensis species of dracaena. Deremensis is less common than other dracaena species, which include Dracaena marginata, a purple and green plant also known as dragon tree; Dracaena fragrans, commonly known as corn plant; or Dracaena godseffiana, a small, gold-flecked plant known as Gold Dust. Dracaena deremensis cultivars include not only Rikki, but also Janet Craig, Warneckii and Compacta. Dracaena Rikki prefers a shaded area or dark corner of the garden, as low light brings out the bright colors of the leaves. Too much intense sunlight may result in leaves with a scorched, dry, streaky appearance. Water the plant deeply to saturate the root zone, and then allow the top of the soil to dry slightly before watering again, as soggy soil smothers the roots and causes rot. Dracaena Rikki is a good plant for indoors with low or moderate light. If the yellow markings on the leaves begin to fade, move the plant into slightly brighter light but avoid direct, intense sunlight. Dracaena performs best with moderate amounts of water. To water dracaena, water the plant deeply and then allow the soil to drain thoroughly. Allow the top 2 inches of potting mixture to dry before the next watering.

Bring the taste of the tropics to your home garden with the Avocado Tree (Persea americana), a fast-growing, evergreen fruit tree prized for its rich, creamy fruit and lush, tropical appearance. Known for its glossy, deep green foliage and upright growth habit, the avocado tree adds year-round greenery and can be grown in the ground in warm climates or in large containers in cooler regions. With proper care, this tree will reward you with buttery avocados perfect for slicing, mashing, or adding to a variety of recipes. The tree typically develops a broad canopy and sturdy trunk, maturing into a beautiful landscape specimen. While it may take several seasons to produce fruit, the wait is well worth it. Avocados thrive in warm, frost-free climates, but they can also be grown indoors or in greenhouses where temperature and light can be controlled. A self-fertile variety will bear fruit on its own, though planting multiple trees can often increase yield. Whether you're an experienced gardener or just starting out, the Avocado Tree offers an enjoyable and rewarding growing experience for those who appreciate fresh, homegrown fruit and a tropical aesthetic in their outdoor space. The Hall Avocado Tree is a vigorous, late-season variety prized for its exceptionally smooth, glossy green skin and its ability to produce large, high-quality fruit. Originating in Florida, the Hall avocado is well-suited to USDA Zones 911 and thrives in warm, humid environments with good drainage. This tree exhibits strong, upright growth and typically matures at heights of 20 to 30 feet, forming a full, symmetrical canopy that adds tropical appeal to any garden or orchard. The fruit of the Hall variety is notable for its elongated, pear-like shape and substantial size, often weighing over a pound. Its skin remains green when ripe and is relatively thick and durable, helping to extend its shelf life and resist minor handling damage. Hall avocados are harvested in late fall through early winter, offering a valuable harvest window when many other varieties have finished. The pale green flesh inside is rich and buttery, with a dense, creamy texture and minimal fiber. Although not as widely planted as commercial varieties like Hass, Hall is appreciated for its consistent yields, large fruit size, and excellent eating quality. It is a Type A flowering variety, making it suitable for pairing with B-type cultivars to increase cross-pollination and overall fruit production. Ideal for home growers and Florida avocado enthusiasts, the Hall variety delivers dependable performance, attractive fruit, and a satisfying flavor profile.

This palm's name is often used for several different palms but all have the distinct look of bamboo. These chamadoreas grow slowly with a clustering, spreading habit. It produces short elegant fronds and attractive, upright stalks which look like thin bamboo canes. This decorative palm is rightfully very popular as both an indoor and outside plant, growing well directly in the soil, in outdoor container pots, and inside homes. This plant loves shade, lots of water, and can tolerate fairly low temperatures, making it an ideal plant for many environments, including homes, offices, malls, and sheltered areas of gardens. The bamboo palm is an especially good choice for a houseplant, not only because it is very attractive and quite undemanding in terms of care, but also because it rates highly on NASAs list of air purifying plants. These plants were found to filter harmful toxins from the air, such as formaldehyde, resulting in cleaner and healthier air to breathe.

The roebellini palm (Phoenix roebelenii) offers a miniature palm choice growing to a maximum of 12 feet. Preferring warmer climates in U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 9 through 11, the robellini palm does require some care regarding its soil nutrient structure and watering needs. Pygmy date palms, whether grown indoors or outdoors, like consistently moist soils, but they should never be left in standing water. This makes watering a maintenance task that requires regular observation of the soil. To maintain a neat appearance and to promote healthy leaves, pygmy date palms require regular rinsing of the foliage. Rinse with a fine spray of lukewarm water either in the shower, or place your palm outside during summer rains. This rinsing keeps common pests such as scale, thrips and mites under control, and it also removes fertilizer salts that may damage the foliage. Fertilize the palm with balanced fertilizer, preferably specialized for palms. Potassium and magnesium are specific nutrients that cause leaf dieback if they are not available readily in the soil.

Growing a mango tree is best suited to tropical and subtropical hardiness zones where temperatures do not fall below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Although it can be tricky to grow, a mango tree can make an interesting specimen when grown in a large pot outdoors or indoors. In the right conditions, this tree forms a dense canopy of long oblong green leaves and rewards you with flowers in December through March; the fruit comes three to five months later. Mango trees planted in the garden are more likely to fruit than potted trees, but small varieties suitable for containers, such as a dwarf spotted mango, are capable of fruiting if they receive enough sunlight. Mango trees grown in a garden or potted on an outdoor deck or patio usually fare somewhat better. Saplings should be planted in spring; in the garden, it's important to plant during a cool season. A mango tree will require plenty of light and warmth to keep it happy. This tree reacts very badly to temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and will drop fruit if it gets too cold. Indoors, it can be hard to provide the plant with enough light to thrive. Young mango tree seedlings require bright light but not direct sunlight. Once the tree starts to grow and mature, it requires as much sunlight as possible, which may mean a potted tree needs to move outdoors. The mango tree needs at least six hours of sun per day and preferably eight to ten hours.

This strain of the Cavendish banana will actually produce fruit at a manageable height of just 3 or less. The bananas will appear often after one year. Container grown bananas can be wintered over in a sunroom, an above freezing garage or cellar. Banana plants grown in a garden can be dug and lifted out of the ground before winter and stored in an above freezing area. The plant will have yellow leaves but the trunk and some of the roots will be alive waiting for the next growing season. This is one way to grow bananas in the north. This method also helps to contain their size so they are manageable. Often Dwarf Banana plants are found growing in parts of Asia for mass cultivation and they are sometimes grown as tall specimen plants in gardens at the back of borders to add a touch of the tropics. These Dwarfs can still easily reach 6ft 2m, so with this in mind a young new plant will live happily on a window ledge for a few years at most but that's it, afterwards the space will have run out and you will need somewhere bigger. They grow quickly when it's warm, rewarding you with one new leaf every week or so, they look truly stunning and unique all the time, adding a tropical interest to any area. If allowed to reach its statuesque proportions, it will dominate in a graceful balanced way that very few houseplants can ever match.

This native to west Africa is grown indoors for it's attractive semi-lobed and oval shaped leaves, which all seem to grow to different sizes. The name fiddle given to this plant comes from its kind of fiddle shaped leaves. This ficus is a slow growing plant that may take up to 10 -15 years to reach full maturity, but after 3 or 4 years of growth it starts to become an attractive tree like ornamental house plant. The leaves have prominent veins through the center and from the center to the edge of the leaves. These leaves have a glossy appearance and grow up to 12 inches long and 5 inches or more wide. These grow well in greenhouses and conservatories because they enjoy high lighting conditions. They're the type of plant that looks great near doorways, hallways, fireplaces and other featured parts of a room, although enough light will need to be provided - wherever they are seated. It is a popular ornamental tree in subtropical and tropical gardens, and is also grown as a houseplant in temperate areas, where it usually stays shorter and fails to flower or fruit. It requires indirect natural light.

The Ficus family includes a large number of species including the rubber plant (Ficus elastica), weeping fig (Ficus benjamina) and fiddle-leaf fig (Ficus lyrata). Ficus grown as houseplants are much smaller than their outdoor counterparts, which grow in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 through 12. Most ficus grown indoors are woody tree-like plants with single or multi-stemmed trunks. Plant the ficus in a well-draining potting mix. Purchase a loamy soil with added vermiculite or perlite for drainage, or mix your own. Use 3 parts loam 1 part peat and 1 part sand for a well-draining mixture. Plant in a deep pot with drainage holes so the water can run out. Place the ficus near a window in a room that gets bright light in the summer with more moderate light in the winter. Water weekly during the summer with room-temperature water. Add water until it drains from the bottom of the pot. Discard the excess water if it flows into a container. Adjust the watering for your particular plant. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. If the leaves turn yellow and begin to drop, you may need to increase or decrease the amount of water. Check the root ball. If the roots are soggy water the plant less often. If they are dry, increase watering. Humidity and light levels affect the amount of water needed. Ficus are sensitive to changes in their environment. They react to these changes by dropping leaves. The leaves turn yellow and fall off. If you have just moved your ficus to a new location, expect leaf drop. The leaves will grow back when the plant adjusts.

The Parfyanka Pomegranate Tree is a highly prized fruiting variety known for its exceptional flavor, vibrant fruit, and ornamental beauty. Originating from Central Asia and adapted for warmer climates, this deciduous shrub or small tree produces medium to large fruits with a deep red skin and soft seeds that are unusually sweet with a hint of tartness. The Parfyanka is especially notable for its low acidity, making it one of the most palatable pomegranates for fresh eating. In spring and early summer, the tree is adorned with bright orange-red tubular flowers that attract pollinators and hint at the abundant fruit to follow in late summer or fall. Its attractive, glossy green foliage adds visual appeal throughout the growing season, and its moderate growth habit makes it suitable for both garden planting and large containers. With proper care and a sunny location, the Parfyanka Pomegranate Tree can become a long-lived and productive centerpiece in any edible landscape. It is self-fertile, drought-tolerant once established, and thrives in warm climates with long summers.

Dracaena Janet Craig is an interior workhorse, popular for decades, used frequently as a floor plant in interior situations or mass planted in beds. Survives in low light levels, grows best in filtered light. Dracaenas thrive on neglect, grow well in low light, and need very little water. These attractive plants have sword- shaped, leathery, dark green, shiny leaves that are about 3 wide and 2ft. in length. NASA lists the dracaena janet craig as an excellent clean air plant that helps eliminate harmful toxins from the environment. It is a strongly upright plant that tends to drop its lower leaves, exposing the stalk as it ages. This plant should be grown in bright indirect sunlight, but is known to tolerate lower light levels. Dracaenas require even moisture, good soil drainage, and cannot tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH.

This beautiful and stately palm is probably Australia's most attractive Livistona. It has moderately costapalmate, glossy, bright green fan leaves in a spherical, moderately dense crown. The leaf segments are lax and deeply divided and give the leaves a slightly weeping appearance. The ringed trunks can reach up to 25 or 30 m (80 to 100 ft.) in height. L. nitida grows in the mountains of southern Queensland to an altitude of about 1000 m (3300 ft.), and, in cultivation, is fast growing, tolerant of drought and quite heavy freezes, and easy to maintain. Zone: 8A-11 Typical Height: 40-50ft

Striking in appearance, the pindo's feather-leaf, silver-colored fronds (some call it more of a blue-green) create an outstanding contrast to a typical yard's greenery. A native plant sometimes called Jelly Palm, the pindo produces edible berries that can be made into jelly with a sweet bananapineapple flavor. The look of the this palm is unique yet versatile. It can fit in small yards, especially pretty with a modest beach house, an old-fashioned Florida bungalow, or dressing up the yard of a ranch-style home. And pindo palms work for large woodland estates, horse ranches or waterfront homes as a bright spot in the landscape. This Florida native is a slow grower to about 20 feet. When the palm is young, the fronds stay low to the ground, so allow a bit of room for them to spread out. As it matures, the pindo develops a thick trunk covered with woody leaf bases for many years, and the fronds curl downward to form a handsome top.

English ivy (Hedera helix) is an evergreen perennial. It is also classified as a woody vine. English ivy can act as a ground cover, spreading horizontally and reaching 8 inches in height. But it is also a climber, due to its aerial rootlets, which allows it to climb to 80 feet high. The plant will eventually bear insignificant greenish flowers, but it is grown primarily for its evergreen leaves. In this regard, ivy can be classified as a foliage plant. The best time to plant English ivy is spring. English ivy plants grow well in part shade to full shade. The ability to grow in shade has made English ivy a traditional ground cover for planting under trees, where most grasses may not grow well. Since ivy is vigorous and has a dense growth habit, it's an effective ground cover if your objective is to crowd out weeds. Grow this evergreen vine in well-drained soil. Although it will grow in poor soils and soils of a wide range of pH levels, it does best in average loams. A thick layer of mulch helps keep the soil moist in dry climates.

Aloe 'Hercules' (Hercules Aloe) A large hybrid tree aloe that is the result of a cross between the large Tree Aloe, Aloe barberae (A. bainesii) and the smaller Quiver Tree, Aloe dichotoma. The plant exhibits hybrid vigor, growing faster than Aloe barberae with a heavier trunk, thicker branches and peeling bark more typical of Aloe dichotoma but with broad triangular dark green leaves. Relatively young large specimens can be seen in southern California and it seems likely that they will grow to 30 to 40 feet. Most of these plants have yet to flower but mature plants have beautiful green-tipped salmon flowers that can appear sporadically from spring to fall. Plant in full sun and water occasionally to infrequently. Hardiness reports are that it is hardier than either parent and can tolerate temperatures down to at least 20 F though unverified reports are that it has been hardy only to 23F. It is a unique looking plant that sometimes confused with, but quite different from Aloe barberae or the yellow-orange flowering form of Aloe barberae that comes from Mozambique that is often referred to as the Medusa form of Aloe barberae and now described as Aloe tongaensis. Hercules aloe is a striking aloe tree that commands attention with its beauty, unusual appearance, and sheer magnitude once mature. As it gets older, the aloe leaves fall off the bottom, revealing a tree trunk on the bottom and leaving a crown of long, green succulent leaves at the top.

Ferns provide elegant, greenery with a classic, airy form. The Macho fern (Nephrolepis biserrata) is one of the best examples of these plants. Best of all, Macho fern care is easy, breezy and can grow either as a houseplant or an outdoor specimen in warmer regions. It can grow outdoors year round in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 10, either in the ground or potted, and can also do well grown indoors as a large houseplant in any region. A tropical, evergreen fern, it's also called giant sword fern because its sword-shaped fronds can be 4 feet long, with the entire plant approaching a width of 6 feet. A Macho fern needs light shade for best growth; too much sun can scorch the fronds and slow overall growth. If you grow this fern in the ground, the best spot is under tall trees that provide shifting shade throughout the day. If you grow a macho fern indoors, give it a spot that gets bright, filtered light -- a few feet from a lightly curtained, west- or south-facing window is ideal. Never expose the plant to direct, mid-day sun, which can burn its foliage.

The common characteristics of this plant include a bulbous trunk, which is used to store water, and its long, hair-like leaves that grow from the top of the trunk like a ponytail, giving the plant its renowned name. A ponytail palm tree needs bright light, but because it is such a forgiving plant, it will be okay if you give it bright light about half the time. In fact, if you keep it in low light conditions half the year and provide bright light conditions the other half the year, it will be perfectly happy. This means that as long as you place it outdoors in the summer, it will tolerate any indoor light conditions you keep it in during the winter. In its native environment (eastern Mexico), the entire plant has been known to reach up to 30 feet in height! However, ponytail palms that are grown in gardens as landscape plants dont usually get to be more than 10 feet tall. Kept indoors, they are rarely taller than 4 feet. As desert-natives, ponytail palms dont need much humidity, but placement near a draft or vent should be avoided as it may dry out the foliage. Use a fast draining soil, such as a cacti and succulent potting mix. If you have potting soil, sand, and perlite already on hand, you can create your own desert soil mixture: Simply mix 1 part potting soil, 1 part perlite, and 1 part sand.
