Book excerpt: "This unique encyclopedic treatment of tropical gardening was written specifically for Malaysia and Singapore, but it will be a valuable resource for gardeners in the American tropics as well. Included are detailed, illustrated listings of herbaceous plants, shrubs and climbers, trees and palms, foliage plants, orchids, vegetables, and fruit trees." "The adventurous gardener will find inspiration and challenges in the distinctive plant materials presented. The book assumes the mostly wet tropical climate of Malaysia, and adjustments will have to be made for local conditions of Hawaii and southern California and Florida, but the authors - distinguished botanists with long experience in the tropics - provide useful guidance on the requirements for each plant." "The breathtaking spectrum of tropical plants illustrated will be of extraordinary interest not only to sophisticated gardeners in tropical areas but to greenhouse enthusiasts everywhere."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of growing food crops, ornamentals, and plants that do well in tropical regions is known as tropical gardening. Tropical regions are defined by year-round rain, high humidity, and warm temperatures. Because of these factors, many different kinds of plants are able to thrive. Essential elements of tropical gardening consist of: - Temperatures in tropical regions generally rise beyond 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) throughout the year, and the air is usually somewhat humid. Instead of the four seasons seen in temperate regions, there is just one wet and dry season, and frost is extremely unusual. - Extensive Biodiversity: The amazing variety of plant and animal life found in tropical climates is well-known. Exotic fruits, foliage, flowers, and other plants are common in tropical gardens. A wide variety of colorful and interesting species are available to gardeners so that they may design a verdant and attractive outdoor space. - Tropical soils are lush and fertile, yet they can vary greatly. But, gardeners may need to add organic materials and fertilizers to soil that is deficient in certain nutrients in order to encourage plant development in certain regions. - Watering: Although tropical areas often see rain, there could be dry spells in the year. In order to keep plants healthy, it is essential to water them thoroughly, particularly during the dry season. In areas where rainfall is insufficient, irrigation systems or consistent hand-watering may be required. - Partial shade or filtered sunlight is ideal for many tropical plants. Planting taller species strategically allows gardeners to create a diversified and harmonious environment by shading more sensitive plants. - The warm and humid weather in tropical areas can also make pests and diseases more likely to spread. If you want your garden to stay healthy, you need a plan to deal with pests and diseases. Tropical fruits including papayas, mangoes, and pineapples, as well as ferns, banana plants, palm trees, and orchids are commonplace in tropical gardens. In tropical gardening, plants are not only cultivated for their beauty, but also for their usefulness in producing food and providing a home for animals.
