Sowing time: Tropical seeds can be sown all year round, provided there is sufficient warmth (at least 22 °C).
Soil: Use an airy and well-draining substrate, such as a mix of coconut fiber and vermiculite.
Moisture and light: Keep the soil constantly slightly moist and provide plenty of light without direct sunlight during the germination phase.
Germination time: Tropical seeds can vary in germination time, from a few weeks to several months. Patience is key.
Repotting and hardening off: Once the seedlings are strong enough, they can be repotted and gradually acclimated to lower humidity.
By following these guidelines, you as a grower can produce healthy and strong tropical plants that are ready for sale or further cultivation.
Many tropical plants thrive in indoor environments or greenhouses where temperature and humidity can be easily controlled. Popular varieties include Monstera, Ficus, Calathea, and palms. We recommend plants that are robust and easy to maintain for retailers and professionals.
Tropical plants generally require plenty of light, warmth, and high humidity. Regular watering and fertilizing are important, but make sure the roots aren't overwatered. We provide care guidelines for traders to ensure their plants stay in top condition during transport and sale.
Most tropical plants are not winter-hardy and cannot withstand frost. Some hardy species, such as certain banana plants or tree ferns, can survive outdoors in the ground, provided they receive adequate winter protection.
Most tropical seeds require warmth to germinate. Sow the seeds in a heated seed tray or propagator. Use seed-starting mix and maintain a constant temperature of at least 20°C.
Well-draining, fertile potting soil is essential. You can enrich the soil with compost or use a special soil mix for tropical plants.
Many tropical plants thrive in high humidity. You can achieve this by spraying the leaves with water, placing a bowl of water near the plant, or using a humidifier.
