Our Tropical Garden is our own space on the web where we celebrate the plants and trees of the tropics. Being gardening enthusiasts living in the tropics, we want to describe the plants around us, how they look like, where they come from, how to grow them, take care of them, propagate them, and so on. If you are planning to grow tropical plants, we hope the information we share on this website will benefit you greatly.

Plants and trees from the tropics require special attention and care. The most important are an abundance of sunlight and high humidity. We will try to explain the needs that these plants require, and we hope through our advise, you will be able to enjoy growing tropical plants, anywhere in the world.

About Us

My name is Tim and my wife is Esther. We are gardening enthusiast in Malaysia. Both of us have maintained our own gardens since a young age. But now we live in an apartment with little room for gardening. So we decided that the next best thing is to have a garden on the web where we can enjoy the flowers, plants and trees, the whole year round. And that is how this website came about.

Our Tropical Garden is just one of our many gardening websites. It forms part of Our Online Garden series.

Our Series of Websites

Our first gardening website is The Flowering Garden, began in 2007. Since then, we have also started a new series of online garden websites for bamboos, cacti, conifers, ferns, fruits, mushrooms, orchids, roses, spices, trees, tropical plants and vegetables.
