This type of garden features tropical plants and requires good rain for all i didn't irrigation or sprinkler system for watering. These gardens typically need fertilizer and heavy mulching. It if the most difficult garden to build, to maintain. It it becomes more difficult the more your local climate differs from the natural habitat of the plants. Key to a health garden are lots of light and lots of water so irrigation is a must have of this types of gardens

Tropical garden

Contrary the common belief, growing this kind of tree is not that difficult and allow people to enjoy their own fruit. Also, these plants can be used as windbreakers. They need fertile soil, large mulch, and organic matter, large amount of nitrogen and potassium, warm temperature, high humidity, large amount of water and shelter from other plants. These plants are not to be exposed to strong winds and extreme weather condition (too hot or too cold weather) with an ideal temperature being 26 to 30° c (78 to 86 fahrenheit). They stop growing below 14° c (57 fahrenheit). Its rhizomes are planted upright and their roots have to be well covered with soil.

Among the many species of this plants is the Strelitzia reginae, an indigenous plant to South Africa and South America. As a tropical plant, it grows in warm, humid climates. This exotic, colorful plants with evergreen leaves resemble a bird's peak. It is an outer plant provided the weather is not too cold. Othewise, it is better to keep it in a pot indoors. It needs rich soil as well as sun or partial shade. Another requirement for this plant is a good drainage.
