Indoor trees come in a variety of styles and can become hobbies along with growing fruits to eat. Each of these types requires varying levels of care including regulating the amounts of light they receive and feeding them special kinds of food. One thing they all have in common is their need to be pruned on a regular basis to keep them healthy and giving providing them a chance for long life spans.

Japanese Bonsais are a common species found inside of homes, dorms and other areas all over the world. This is because they are not hard to care for and provide hours of relaxation for the individual who owns it. Another perk is they can live inside and outside if the temperature does not drop below fifty degrees Fahrenheit

Lime, lemon, banana, pomegranate and orange species of citrus plants are now being designed to live inside the home. The bonus to this is that an individual can grow food in any environment regardless of temperatures. In addition to citrus foods, vegetables are also being designed for inside growth allowing for year round food for families.

The palm tree is known for adding moisture to the air and also adds a desert kind of feeling to the room. A drawback to this plant is the fact that it requires a lot of watering and attention to keep it healthy and strong. These plants also need to be placed in well drained soil environments that will prevent them from receiving too much water.

This species require a lot of water and in most cases lots of sunlight to make them healthy and happy. Soil with sand, leaf mold, peat moss and loam are a few kinds of materials used to keep this species strong. They also require their soil to have good drainage to ensure they do not get over watered.

Tropical types are also available and come in a few different breeds including Ficus and Dracaena. Two of these species which grow well inside include the fiddle leaf fig or Ficus Lyrata and the Benjamina or weeping fig. Because these are tropical species they require lots of indirect sunlight and can be very picky. Because of their nature these guys will drop their leaves for the slightest reason including moving from one area to another and change in temperatures.

The Dracaena species is a low light tree that does not require as much care and light as citrus and ficus species. This makes them great for office environments and low light restaurants where the employees are too busy to take constant care of their plants. Two of the most common coloring schemes include wide leaves with a yellow stripe running down them and narrow leaves with burgundy edges.

Caring for this type of tropical plant is to let the soil dry out in between watering actions and also keeping the humidity up by placing the plant onto a plate filled with rocks and water. Like other species in the plant family, indoor trees range in size and are placed in areas to accent the internal decoration of the room. Each one has its own unique style and personality and thus brings something to the table every time.
