Hi, I have recently reclaimed my conservatory and would like to add some more tropical plants what are the best ones for these conditions ? many thanks
Thanks , have just had a quick look how to do this as am fairly new to this gardening lark ! Got a palm in there at the moment but its looking quite scorched
Visiting a friend a while ago she had a huge conservatory with bougainvillea all over the place, it looked fantastic. There was also a gloriosa rothschildiana scrambling around that was beautiful

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
How about cacti and succulents? They don't mind if you forget to water them for a month or two, and some cacti have spectacular flowers, sometimes with scent.

How about growing a pineapple top?

Here are some examples:

don't get brugmansia (angels trumpets) as all parts are poisonous and the scent itself can also cause problems in an enclosed space!
Thanks for the suggestion Pete8 have ordered a lovely lilac bougainvillea online.
Thanks for your link Alan Clark2 I didn't realise cacti had so many flowering varietys. I have one succulent in there that seems happy.
Thanks for the advice Treehugger80 will steer clear !
Will you have to bring it in the house in winter? My conservatory is perishing in the cold months.
