A Taste of the Tropics
Thursday July 9, 2009
It's true that I've got a thing for tropical plants—I think anybody who grows houseplants probably does. Unless you've got a greenhouse, your house in the only place to grow tropicals. So, finally, I put together a list of my favorite tropical. It was surprisingly harder than I expected—I kept wanting to add more and more. But here it is: ambassadors from the tropics, from me to you.
A Summer Splash

I rarely see caladium used as houseplants ... and I get it. They're tubers (strike one), they need high humidity (strike two), and they prefer warmth (yer out!). But that's too bad. These are beautiful summer foliage plants that offer masses of striking color, both indoor and out.
