Welcome to Island Breeze Tropicals. IBT is about growing tropical plants that I grow in my jungle here in Southwest Florida called "The Tangle", and how anyone, anywhere, can have a tropical vibe growing aroids, palms, bromeliads, orchids and more
I'll show you how to raise these plants outside if you live in the Subtropics, and how to bring them inside during the winter if you live north of Florida. So come on, "Let's get growing and have some fun!"
