Palm Tree

There are many options for having creating the tropical vibe indoors with the help of a palm tree.

Palm trees also look wonderful if you have a balcony and make a nice feature in a dull corner. Good choices of palm tree include the Areca Palm and The Pygmy Date Palm.

Golden Pothos

The beauty of this plant is in its leaves. Each arrow shaped leaf will alternate location with the leaves around it. Also known as the Devils Ivy, it’s a climbing species that grows well indoors and in most environments you can expect a lush vine. In the wild, this plant will grow up to 20 metres and they can get very long indoors too but this is rare because although the creeping habit is part of the charm, many Pothos owners will prune when they become too long and unruly. This means the plant can be as tall or as short as you want it to be.

Lithops

Everyone has had a cactus or succulent as a house plant at one point, right? But have you had a Lithop? or as they are also called, A Living Stone. Originally from South Africa and Namibia these living pebbles are used to extremely adverse conditions and have adapted to them. They have the ability to store large amounts of water in their low and distended leaves and when not in growing season thrive on no water for many months.
