Common Houseplants For Warm Climates

Many plants that thrive outdoors can be grown indoors. Several palms, including the sturdily tolerant parlour palm and the graceful paradise palm, are thriving indoors.

Pothos and Houseplants certain varieties (such as the Crotons with variegated colors) are easy to grow and feature attractive foliage. Orchids require bright lighting and constant moisture, but allow the soil to dry little between waterings.

Aroids

The aroid family is vast and includes many of the most popular houseplants of the present. Monocotyledonous, a lot of species are more appreciated for their leaves than their flowers. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and growth habits. They also come in a variety of colors. Monstera, philodendrons and anthuriums and colocasia are among the most popular of these plants.

These understory plants typically receive shaded sunlight, and thrive in moderate to bright indirect light in the home. They can even tolerate some lower light conditions such as an east-facing window (just make sure the sun isn't directly shining onto the leaves).

The majority of these plants thrive in humid, warm climates. Place them in a container with well-draining soil and use a potting mix that offers adequate air circulation. Aroids are prone to excessive watering. Make sure you check the top 2 inches often. Overwatering can cause them to lose their shape, wilt or form dark brown, mushy patches.

Bromeliads

The bromeliad plants in the family have a unique characteristic that allows them to store water within their leaves or in a cup at the bottom of the plant. They also release water when required through trichomes. They are among the most drought tolerant houseplants. However, they do benefit from misting on occasion.

Some, like the Guzmania and neoregelia varieties, are cultivated for their vibrant foliage which may include spots, stripes, or bands of color. Others, like the Tillandsia and Vriesea species, produce blooms that are brightly colored.

Some bromeliads are kept throughout the year indoors and others are moved outdoors in the warmer months (where temperatures are above freezing). At the Safari Park, we have bromeliads growing in our Hidden Jungle garden. The Genus Guzmania has a wide variety of tropical plants including the pineapple (Ananas comosus) which was introduced to Europe following Columbus' second trip to the New World in 1493.

Cacti

Cacti are a favorite choice for many people to add to their homes. These special plants are adapted for desert conditions and most species have spiny stems. Many of them produce flowers and fruit. The spines serve a purpose as they deter herbivores, who could otherwise eat the leaves and fruits.

Like other desert-adapted plants Cacti can store water in their roots and stems for periods of drought. They can also store carbon dioxide in their stomata throughout the day and release it when photosynthesis takes place.

Certain cacti, including the prickly pear (Opuntia) and the cholla are used as living fences in Central and South America. Others, including Lophophora williamsii (cactus peyote) have been utilized for their hallucinogenic properties.

Ferns

Ferns are among the most common home plants you'll find despite the fact that they don't have flowers and fruits. However, they're easy to grow. The key to success lies in a growing medium that mimics the forest floor. It should be rich in organic matter but also include coarse gravel or Houseplants perlite to ensure proper drainage.

A fern should be misted on a regular basis, based on its needs. They prefer the humidity in living rooms and family rooms, however if the fronds are turning brown or dropping their leaves, it is a sign that the humidity is too low.

The soil needs to be well-moistured, but not soggy, to prevent waterlogging and root rot. Simply insert your finger in the soil to test for moisture. It should feel damp, but not wet. Avoid overwatering, as this can cause a yellowing of the fronds. Keep it away from radiators and direct sunlight since they dry the plant too quickly.

Begonias

Begonias are a wonderful way to add color and a sense of vibrancy to your indoor space whether you place them in a decorative container or a macrame container or in a garden. They thrive in indirect, bright sunlight and require a lot of humidity.

Fibrous-rooted Begonias are low-maintenance plants which are easy to care for. The 'Dragonwing' series is the best-known, with blooms of pink, scarlet and yellow on green to dark-bronze foliage. Try the 'Baby wings' series for a compact version. They grow from 12 to 15 inches tall.

They are sold as floor plants that grow to 4' high and have beautiful leaves that feature Polka dot patterns on the front and back. They require regular watering and a monthly liquid fertilizer. Make sure you check the moisture content of the soil on a regular basis since they are prone to wilt if the soil is too dried out. The begonias do not have a preference for soil, however they will benefit from a fast draining, light mix, such as African Violet potting soil or one designed specifically for house plants indoor plants.

Palms

Palms bring a tropical vibe to the house, and are frequently used in indoor gardens. They are easy to care for and can be a focal point in any room. They are hardy but they are killed by cold temperatures, so they should be moved into the garage or protected in the house plants with flowers during winter.

Palm leaves are also referred to as palmate or pinnate, and are V-shaped. The leaflets overlap or are joined together along their entire length. They are attached to a costa, which is an extension from the petiole of the leaf blade.

Many species of palms are harvested for their fruits and timber. They are also planted for shade in hot regions as well as indoor plants when a tropical look is desired. The peach palm, Brassica pendula, is used as a plantation for coffee, as well as for its edible fruit, and the tagua palm, Phytelephas aequatorialis, is utilized to make vegetable ivory and rattan.

Schefflera

Scheffleras are commonly called umbrella plants or octopus plants house. They are among the most common house plants sought-after kinds of houseplants. They are easy to take care of and don't require much or any care.

Scheffleras are tolerant of light to medium however they thrive in bright indirect light. Exposure to direct sunlight can cause burns to the leaves. Not enough light can cause the plant to become leggy and floppy.

Regularly watering is essential but don't overwater. Overwatering may cause root rot. When repotting, make sure to use a container that's only slightly larger than the pot that was originally used; an oversize pot will result in too much soil that is moist for too long.

Watch out for insects like aphids or spider mites. If pests are detected take them off and treat the plants with an insecticide made from natural sources like neem oil. If the leaves start to turn brown, it's due to lack of moisture or an extreme temperature.

Polyscias

Polyscias literally translates to 'lots of shade', which fits the plant perfectly it's origins are from subtropical islands in the Pacific. Beautifully designed with a twisted trunk and beautiful leaves, it is the perfect houseplant for creating peace and tranquility within your home. The leaves are a source of medicinal benefits and are utilized as a tonic diuretic, antitoxin, as well as to treat coughs, fevers and colds. They also possess anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties. Studies have also shown that they have eight new oleanolic acid saponins (polysciosides) and three known ones (polyacetylenes).

Place your Polyscias at a sunny location that doesn't expose the foliage to direct sunlight, since this can scorch them. Water them when the top few inches of soil dries and avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot and even leaf fall. Fertilise with a houseplant labelled feed every four waterings in summer, but reduce feeding to every six weeks in winter and in the autumn.

Philodendrons

Philodendrons are among the easiest houseplants to care for, making them popular for new or novice gardeners. The classic trailing Philodendron hederaceum5 adjusts to varying light conditions and grows quickly. It can be grown in a hanging pot, or climb up a Trellis outside in areas that are not frosty or spread its heart-shaped leaves on a desk or window sill inside.

For a striking room statement Try the cultivar 'Congo Roca that has elliptical leaves in a dark shade of brown purple. The unique color of the plant highlights its sculptural form and is a great choice for modern spaces that have minimalist furniture or decorated with black. Ensure that philodendrons are in a bright spot with indirect sunlight. Also, avoid giving excessive water. Overwatering can lead to the leaf edges to yellow and cause slowing growth. Use diluted, lukewarm water to add plant food instead of directly putting it into the soil. The direct watering of the soil can also shock philodendrons and result in their loss of health.
