Conifers
See all Indoor Tropical Plants
Conifers can provide a graceful and delicate quality to indoor plant displays. Only a small variety of conifers have been cultivated for indoor use, with Podocarpus and the Norfolk Island Pine being the most common. Norfolk Island Pine is especially popular in holiday plant displays, since it resembles a Christmas tree and can be (carefully) decorated for the holidays. Conifers make excellent lone specimens in containers, but also add interesting texture to group plantings.
Most indoor conifers require medium to bright light, even full sunlight if it's available. They typically prefer to remain slightly moist during growing months, and to dry out between deep waterings during winter months. They can endure dry air, but flourish in higher humidity levels.
