Tropical plants create instant drama in any space — from the iconic split leaves of Monstera deliciosa to the paddle-shaped foliage of Banana Plant (Musa) and the vivid orange flowers of Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae). Our tropical plant collection covers indoor statement plants and frost-tender outdoor species, all available with delivery across Europe.

Can Tropical Plants Survive European Winters?

It depends on the species. True tender tropicals like Banana Plant (Musa), Canna, and Colocasia must be brought indoors or into a frost-free greenhouse when temperatures drop below 5°C. However, many 'tropical-looking' plants are fully hardy in most of Europe — Fatsia japonica, Tree Fern (Dicksonia antarctica), and Ginger Lily (Hedychium) all survive mild winters outdoors and return vigorously in spring.

Best Tropical Plants for Indoor Spaces

  • Monstera deliciosa — the iconic split-leaf Philodendron; fast-growing in bright indirect light
  • Alocasia — dramatic arrow-shaped leaves with silver veining; prefers 60%+ humidity
  • Calathea — intricate patterned foliage; closes leaves at night (nyctinasty); ideal for bathrooms
  • Areca Palm (Dypsis lutescens) — NASA's top-rated air purifier; thrives in bright indirect light
  • Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia) — produces flowers indoors when given direct sun; sculptural specimen

How to Care for Tropical Plants Indoors

Tropical plants need three things: warmth (18–25°C), humidity (50–70%), and bright indirect light. In centrally heated homes, indoor humidity can drop to 20–30% in winter — use a pebble tray with water, group plants together, or mist regularly. Avoid placing tropical plants near radiators or cold draughts from windows, which are the two most common causes of browning leaf tips.
