Flowering plants brought indoors provide a splash of color to any room. Put them in a dreary corner or room to make it seem much more alive. It might be challenging to coax a houseplant into blooming, but many of today’s popular houseplants can be purchased mature and in bloom with nothing more than your patience or occasional care.
Fuchsia
More than a hundred distinct kinds of fuschia exist. Fuchsias have a lengthy flowering period, often extending from summer into fall. The flowers have an attractive tiered pattern in the form of a teardrop, with four long petals and four short petals.
Clivia
This brightening plant is often kept in a planter inside. There are yellow, red, and orange variants, and all of them have glossy, dark green leaves. Because of its evergreen nature, the Clivia plant may be expected to look healthy and flourish for many years to come. It has two distinct growing seasons: dormancy (winter) and flowering (spring, summer).
Begonia
Many of the more than 1800 species of begonia are endemic to tropical regions. Indoor variants of this plant are also highly fashionable. The begonia is a fantastic houseplant since these particular types bloom all year round. There are a wide variety of begonias to choose from, including Rex begonias, Wax begonias, and Cane begonias.
Purple Oxalis
The color and shape of the leaves alone make these plants unique. Because of their dark color, these leaves are commonly mistaken for shamrocks despite being the same species. When the light becomes too strong or it gets dark, the leaves of a purple shamrock will close up like an umbrella.
Zebra Plant
The zebra plant, a native of Brazil, is so named for its striped leaves. Small, golden flowers sometimes appear on the shrub. The zebra plant is most notable for its enormous, glossy, dark green leaves. The zebra plant gets its name from its distinctive white veining. Zebra plants, with their wildly contrasted patterns of color, are a great way to inject energy into a dull interior setting.
Orchid
Orchids get a terrible name because of how difficult they are to cultivate and bring into flower. Although mastering your indoor orchid plant may take some time, the end result will be well worth the effort. Orchids have one of the largest populations of blooming plants, with more than 28,000 different species.
Anthurium
Many varieties of anthurium exist, and they may be found in a rainbow of hues. They have some visual similarities with orchids but need much less care. The anthurium will flourish if you give it some specific care.
Christmas Cactus
The Christmas Cactus is so named because it blooms around Christmas. This plant blooms in a wide range of colors throughout the winter, including red, white, yellow, pink, and purple. Amazingly, with appropriate care, the flowers may endure for weeks.
Aechmea Fasciata
In addition to its common name, “silver vase plant,” this blossoming plant belongs to the bromeliad family. Beautiful and low-maintenance, this plant is a popular choice. Bromeliads, in general, need dappled light and may quickly scorch if exposed to strong sunshine.
Golden Shrimp Plant
Outdoors, this plant may reach a height of 6 feet, but in a container, it will stay considerably shorter. Shrimp plant leaves are big and intricately veined. Golden shrimp plant blossoms are slender and very yellow.
Amaryllis
The flowers on this plant have a distinctive trumpet form, and their colors range from pink and red to green, blue, and purple. Atop the tall, mainly naked stem of this plant is a massive, open flower. These blooms are perfect for amateur and professional gardeners alike.
Kalanchoe
Technically a succulent, the kalanchoe plant is well-known for its low care requirements. The ‘flaming katy’ is a flower that has a wide spectrum of vivid hues, from magenta and yellow to orange and red to white. The leaves are a shiny, deep green, and may become fairly enormous.
Hibiscus
Big, show-stopping flowers are the plant’s claim to fame. There are a wide variety of hibiscus colors, including yellow, white, pink, peach, and red. If you have a fever, stomachache, or high blood pressure, try drinking some hibiscus red tea, which is famous for its healing benefits.
African Violet
These gorgeous plants, available in a range of shades of blue and purple, are ideal for brightening up a room with little decoration. You may grow them in individual containers or mix several kinds together in a single container.
Poinsettia
The brightly colored parts of the poinsettia that we see are really leaves, which are referred to as bracts. There’s the traditional Christmas red, as well as some yellows and pinks.
