Indoor and Tropical Plants

Indoor and tropical plants bring greenery into your home and add life to sheltered outdoor areas. Whether you’re filling a bright living room, a dim hallway, or a covered patio, there’s a plant that will grow well in that spot.

We stock over 45 indoor and tropical plant varieties, from easy-care pothos and peace lilies to statement plants like fiddle leaf figs and monstera. Many of these plants also work well in sheltered outdoor areas around Melbourne, as long as they’re protected from frost.

The most important factor for indoor plants is light. Low-light spots suit peace lilies, zanzibar gems, and pothos. Bright, indirect light is ideal for monstera, rubber plants, and most ferns. Direct sun near a window works for succulents and cacti.

Overwatering is the most common mistake with indoor plants. Most prefer to dry out slightly between waterings. Check the soil with your finger before watering u2013 if the top 2u20133cm is still damp, wait a few more days.

Tropical plants can go outdoors in Melbourne during the warmer months (October to April) but need to come inside or under cover before the first frost. A sheltered north-facing patio is often the ideal spot for tropicals in Melbourne.

Did You Know?

Indoor and tropical plants do more than look good. Here are a few things worth knowing:

  • Indoor plants can improve air quality in your home. Plants like peace lilies, pothos, and snake plants have been shown to absorb airborne pollutants. While you’d need a lot of plants to make a measurable difference, every little bit helps.
  • Most indoor plants come from tropical forest floors. That’s why they cope well with the low light inside our homes u2013 they evolved growing under a dense canopy. It also means they prefer humidity, so grouping plants together or misting them occasionally helps.
  • Melbourne’s frost makes tropical plants risky outdoors year-round. Even mild frosts can damage tropical foliage. If you grow tropicals outdoors in summer, bring them under cover before May. Sheltered spots against a north-facing brick wall offer the most frost protection.
