Tropical Plant Conservatory and Rare Plant House

Tropical Plant Conservatory and Rare Plant House

Miami has the perfect climate for many kinds of tropical plants, but some plants from even warmer places can’t handle our coldest winter nights. Additionally, some plants have precise water, soil, shade, and humidity requirements, making them difficult to grow outdoors. Our Tropical Plant Conservatory, historically known as the Rare Plant House, is where we grow plants that need extra warmth or other kinds of special conditions. Sometimes, to be cautious, we also plant our newest rare plant introductions here. Once we better understand how to care for them, we may move them outdoors. As a result, the Conservatory is an ever-changing display of some of the rarest and most recently discovered tropical plants.
