Ornamental plants are various types of plants, both shrubs and gardens, flowering plants and others, that are deliberately planted by humans as decoration. Ornamental plants are not only outdoors, but also indoors. Currently, there is an increase in public interest in ornamental plants because the COVID-19 pandemic, which is still not over, has caused many people to stay at home, so they fill their busy lives by planting ornamental plants. One style of growing ornamental plants for the outdoors is the tropical garden style. The tropical garden style is very suitable for the climate of our country, which has a hot climate. Tropical gardens are usually lush gardens with many plants, both tall and low-growing, and a diverse collection of plants. Here are some tips for having a tropical garden:
Caladium is a plant that grows in the shade, but the caladium plant will grow perfectly when exposed to direct sunlight for two to four hours. It can be planted through tubers or saplings. Taro tubers can be planted in soil as deep as 5 cm and spaced about 20 cm apart.

Palm plant
Planting taller plants first, such as red palm, yellow palm, and calathea varieties. Red palm plants are ornamental plants that are quite in demand because of their unique shape. The stems are very tall, reaching 16 meters with fiery red stems, leaves, and stems. The many stems form a very beautiful clump when used as a background for plants in a tropical garden. In addition, there is also the Yellow Palm, aka Dypsis lutescens, which is an ornamental plant that is quite popular. The appearance is beautiful because the pinnate leaves are yellowish green with a bright yellow midrib.Calathea Lutea
Calathea, 15-20 meters high, is very beautiful when used as a backdrop for plants in tropical gardens. From tall plants, we can combine them with medium-sized plants, such as various types of taro plants, namely skull taro, black taro, swiss cheese plant, and phillodendrum. We built some kind of layer with the plants. Start with the tall ones, then the medium-sized plants and finally the small plants.
