Heliconia is a bold, tropical ornamental plant native to Central and South America, widely admired for its striking, colorful bracts that resemble lobster claws or bird-of-paradise shapes. In Indian gardens, Heliconia is loved for its exotic look and is commonly used in outdoor landscapes, resorts, and large balconies to create a lush, tropical feel. Its tall, glossy green leaves add strong visual impact even when the plant is not in bloom.

Heliconia grows best in bright sunlight to partial shade and prefers rich, well-drained soil with regular watering. It thrives in warm, humid Indian climates and benefits from consistent moisture and organic feeding. Best suited for outdoor spaces, this plant instantly elevates the beauty of gardens and open areas, making it a perfect choice for those who want a vibrant, resort-style green setup at home.
