What can grow in a tropical climate (in general)?

Question

Doesn't have to be specific... just a tropical climate.

Answer 1

I've worked in landscaping before. Try Coleus. They are beautiful, and they are easy to maintain. All types of cacti, or succulents, also work. All types of palms also work, but they need a lot of water. Cacti don't. Coleus are small plants, and they work the best, and can live for years and years. Email me if you have any more questions.

Answer 2

a tropical climate would be like a rainforest's climate so i guess a certain type of trees, grass, and some other stuffs.

Answer 3

Most agricultural crops can be grown under tropical conditions. Corn, soybeans, wheat, peanuts, rice, cotton, hemp, as well as most vegetable crops.

Answer 4

All plants have zones that they acclimate to. When it comes to annual crops and plants there are more available provided water is not too high or low dependent on variety. Some crops do not do well with humidity and just have too many fungal problems. Tree and tree fruits are popular providing there are no cold weather dormancy needs. Cultures and their diets all have grown up around certain crops so by researching what is considered staples in local diet from place to place will tell you what can be and is grown. In this era of intercontinental travel in hours instead of months, a staple in North Africa can be found in Northern Australia and the upper South American countries. As to a list? Hardly possible with the hundreds of choices. Evergreen tree fruits are big, rice is king, and annual crops can do well especially when weather is more stable. In the US where I live, tomatoes are annual and it is a ritual that gardeners mark as the show piece of their craft. While traveling threw Iraq I saw them to be perennial; grown as if they were grapes here in the northern climates and loaded sometimes half green and heaped in ancient dump trucks slowly rolling down the sand swept highways. Pick a culture and see what they eat, then head east or west and choose another.
