The greenhouses

In the Rainforest House bamboo, bananas and dangling epiphytes are striking. The tree-like pipevine Aristolochia arborea looks unusual. Its flower imitates mushrooms in appearance and smell, thus attracting fungus gnats for pollination.

In addition to orchids and various species of jewelweeds (Impatiens), tree ferns and plants of the cool tropical mountain forests grow here. The beautiful Chilean bellflower (Lapageria rosea) and other climbing plants entwine on climbing frames.

The Monsoon House houses plants of the savannahs and seasonal tropical forests of the humid subtropics. Palm ferns, ginger plants, representatives of the large family of Gesneriaceae and very different titan arum plants can be seen here. 

In the large basin of the Victoria House, the giant water lily (Victoria) unfolds its mighty leaves. Here you can also find the titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum), which was chosen as the logo of the Botanic Gardens.

Water-storing (succulent) plants grow in the Desert House. On the left, among others, cacti and agaves from the "New World" America, on the right the desert plants from the "Old World" with aloes and euphorbias.

The Strasburger House is not open to the public. However, you can still admire the carnivorous plants and the Velloziaceae on the large display beds behind the glass.
