Best Indoor Flowering Plants That Make Your Home Look More Colorful

By Yeshwanth K

It isn’t mandatory to grow flowering plants in your garden as you can also grow them inside the house. By doing so, you can make your house look more attractive than usual. Many flowering plants can be kept inside your house. You don’t necessarily have to be a botanist to figure out which plants suit your home.

Bloomscape’s horticulturist Joyce Mast, also known as ‘plant mom,’ states that taking care of these plants is easy, and most plants survive in different lighting situations, such as direct sunlight.

Mast suggests plucking off the dead flowers so that all the energy would be directed towards new blooming flowers. Also, the soil should be moist, and you must ensure that water won’t be stored at the bottom of the pot as it can lead to root issues.

To start your hobby as a budding horticulturist, we suggest some of the flowering plants that are perfect for growing indoors.

Although Hydrangeas are garden plants that grow best in summer, they can also be kept indoors—optimum conditions for Hydrangeas direct sunlight and moist soil. If the plant starts to sag, Mast recommends placing them in a bucket or sink with some water for around 45 minutes so that the soil can absorb water and become moist. After that, you can place them back in the sunlight.

Bromeliads:
