Species Guides

Within the world of exotic plants, there are thousands of species and varieties, each with its own characteristics, appearance and growth habit. Some species stand out because of their unusual foliage, while others are known for their size, growth pattern or origin.

The species guides from ExoticsAtHome help you become familiar with the different exotic plant genera. Here you will find photos of mature specimens, background information and extensive species overviews that help make differences between species easier to recognise. This provides a more realistic impression of their development and eventual appearance.

What can you find here?

Each guide focuses on a single plant genus. The goal is to highlight the differences between species and provide a realistic impression of how plants develop as they mature. Many species are sold as young plants, making it difficult to estimate their eventual form, leaf structure or growth habit.

By viewing mature specimens, it becomes easier to understand the characteristics, growth habit and appearance of each species. This makes comparing species within the same genus much easier.
