Step 1: Understand the Tropical Garden Aesthetic

Tropical gardens are known for their dense foliage, bright flowers, and exotic textures. Think banana trees, bromeliads, hibiscus, and palm species.

Step 2: Choose the Right Plants

Top Plants for Brazilian Tropical Gardens:

  • Areca Palm (Palmeira Areca)
  • Heliconias (Banana ornamental)
  • Alpinia
  • Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia)
  • Philodendron

Step 3: Consider Climate and Light

Make sure to select plants based on your local Brazilian microclimate: humid, semi-arid, or coastal. Many tropical plants thrive in partial shade with rich, well-drained soil.

Step 4: Design Your Space

Tips for Layout:

  1. Layer plants by height (tall palms in the back, medium shrubs in the middle, and groundcovers up front)
  2. Add paths and focal points like water features or seating areas
  3. Use natural materials like bamboo or stone for a rustic feel
