The term “tropical plant” refers to a plant that is native to the tropics. Gardeners who grow tropical plants indoors or outdoors in regions outside of the tropics often call these plants “exotics.” Though most tropical plants are not winter hardy above zones where the temperature falls below 40 degrees F (4.4.degrees C), they can still be useful to bring seasonal tropical appeal outdoors during the warm season in regions with colder climates. Many plants from the tropics are grown indoors, as houseplants, in colder climates.
