Ideas for a tropical garden with dry,unfertile soil ?

I am from Sri Lanka which is a tropical country. There is a patch in my garden with unfertile & dry soil. It is very shady so I tried growing foliage plants. They have grown but still the soil is not rich enough. Could you give me some ideas as to what to do with it.

You need to improve the soil. You can do this by adding some mulch and turning it into the soil. Try planting bromeliads, crotons or cordylines. They are colorful foliage plants and I am sure they will be available there. Water and fertilise regularly for success. Good luck.


Suggested plants for a tropical garden?

I’m looking at putting in a nice tropical style garden. I’m in queensland Australia and was wondering what type of plants would look nice and survive? Also, any suggestions for a design? Thanks!

Croton is usually pretty hardy. I’d definately use palms as well. Talk with someone at your local nursery. If you’re in a warm enough climate you should find plenty of selection locally.

This is not a plant suggestion really, but I think it’d be cool to add a water feature such as a fountain that resembles ruins…something Machu Picchu-ish ;)
