tropical foliage

Rainforest plant life

Tropical foliage refers to the leaves and leafy plants characteristic of warm, humid regions near the equator—palms, ferns, philodendrons, and similar broad-leaved vegetation.

The term appears in landscaping, interior design, and floristry: The hotel lobby featured lush tropical foliage.

It evokes dense, green growth and exotic atmosphere.
