Temporary Tropics has provided live foliage rentals and plant rentals for more than two decades, supporting meetings, incentive programs, conferences, conventions, corporate events, universities, trade shows, sporting events, hospitality environments, media productions, luxury social programs, and interior landscaping projects throughout Florida and beyond. Our experience has taught us that a successful plant rental is not defined solely by the plant species selected. It is defined by the accuracy of the proposal, the condition of the inventory, the professionalism of the team, the quality of the installation, and the confidence the Client feels throughout the process.

Our Clients receive bespoke live foliage rental designs rather than standardized packages. Each proposal is curated around the venue, program, audience, brand, architecture, budget, and operational requirements. That bespoke approach allows us to work effectively across a wide spectrum of projects, from an economical stage foliage package for an educational institution to a large-scale convention installation, executive hospitality environment, branded activation, luxury gala, custom grand entrance, or architectural hedge-wall system. We work with all budgets and focus on creating the strongest possible design within the approved investment.

Our background as former meeting planners is one of the most meaningful differences in our service. We understand the pressure placed on planners to manage schedules, budgets, stakeholders, venue restrictions, production partners, and last-minute changes while still delivering an exceptional Client experience. We therefore approach each live foliage rental through the planner’s lens, communicating clearly, identifying logistical concerns early, and arriving prepared to work as an extension of the broader event team. Creativity remains at the forefront, but it is always supported by function, timing, safety, and operational awareness.

We also stand behind what we contract. When a proposal specifies a plant species, quantity, gallon size, or approximate height, the Client should receive the plant rental that was approved. Taller plants generally require more years of cultivation, larger nursery containers, larger decorative planters, heavier equipment, and additional labor; substituting a substantially smaller plant changes both the value and visual impact of the design. Temporary Tropics guarantees the contracted quantities and specifications, and when a viable substitution becomes necessary due to the living nature of the inventory, it is addressed transparently rather than quietly diminished onsite.

Plant health and presentation are equally important. Our live foliage rentals are nurtured through responsible nursery practices, filtered irrigation, thoughtful fertilization, species-specific care, grooming, and regular inspection. Before installation, each plant is evaluated to ensure it is healthy, clean, hydrated, upright, full, and suitable for the environment it will enter. We take pride in delivering lush, professional plant rentals that photograph well, perform throughout the service period, and contribute genuine life, movement, texture, and depth to the space.

Our distinction is also visible in the way we deliver, set, style, and strike. Trucks are loaded with organization and care. Plants and planters are secured to reduce damage in transit. Crews arrive with the appropriate carts, floor protection, installation tools, and labor. Onsite, plants are not merely placed; they are rotated, aligned, groomed, top-dressed, and styled from the perspectives that matter most. Before leaving, we conduct a final review to ensure the live foliage rental reflects the approved vision and meets our professional standards.

We work quietly behind the scenes because the most seamless installations rarely announce the effort required to create them. Our teams respect venue operations, Client schedules, attendees, neighboring vendors, and the integrity of the property. Whether navigating a complex loading dock, a strict freight schedule, an overnight setup, a secured sporting venue, or a rapid ballroom conversion, we remain organized, responsive, and focused on completing the work without adding unnecessary friction to the program.

Temporary Tropics offers more than live foliage rental inventory. We provide botanical judgment, meeting-planner insight, bespoke biophilic design, extensive planter options, professional onsite styling, hedge walls, privacy walls, living backdrops, grand entrances, plant-based florals, maintenance, and complete installation support. Most importantly, we provide the peace of mind that the approved plant rental will arrive healthy, properly scaled, thoughtfully styled, and ready to perform within the Client’s event.
