The 3 best indoor flowering plants for your home

by Lori Madden 05/05/2024

If you're interested in adding some color to your home, consider indoor flowering plants. There are a wide variety of flowering plants to choose from, all of which can adapt comfortably to life inside your home. Unlike cut flowers that fade within days, you can keep your flowering houseplants blooming again and again. Here are some suggestions for the best flowering indoor plants:

African violet

African violets are some of the most adaptable flowering plants available. There are also hundreds of varieties to choose from, making it a perfect choice for adding an abundance of color to your home. The most important aspect of caring for your African violet is to water it carefully and avoid getting the leaves wet. Keeping the soil moist will ensure it thrives in your home and continues to produce colorful blooms.

Kalanchoe

Kalanchoe is a type of succulent that produces bright clusters of blooms. The flowers come in shades of orange, yellow, red and pink with rich oval-shaped leaves. Kalanchoe blooms easily indoors during winter and spring, and will continue to brighten your indoor space as long as you keep it in a well-draining potting mix and out of direct sunlight.

Anthurium

Anthurium, also called flamingo flower, is another excellent option for an indoor flowering plant. This plant produces heart-shaped flowers in bright shades of red and pink, though some rarer varieties appear with white, purple and multi-colored blooms. The flowers last a long time when grown in medium to bright light with consistently warm temperatures.

As a Florida native growing up in Sarasota, I have seen my hometown grow from a sleepy coastal town to a highly sought-after destination along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. After working in Chicago for 5 years, I returned to Sarasota and saw it through a new lens and really began to appreciate what makes Sarasota so desirable, including temperatures that allow for year round outdoor activities including tennis (a personal favorite), golf, boating, kayaking, fishing, paddle boarding, or just relaxing and/or shelling on our pristine sandy shores, including Dr. Beach’s #1 beach in the United States for 2017, Siesta Key! Sarasota’s cultural amenities are many and diverse, appealing to a wide range of arts lovers. Downtown Sarasota has become a destination in itself, drawing many new developments for those who want to be within walking distance of Main Street's offerings and the picturesque bayfront and marina. Foodies will find an eclectic mix of locally owned and operated restaurants offering something for everyone, and there are now Farmers Markets every day of the week in various locations throughout Sarasota, but the Saturday morning Farmers Market in downtown Sarasota draws the biggest crowds. Since 1988, my passion has been selling real estate, representing both buyers and sellers. I have been recognized by my clients and customers for an uncompromising work ethic and dedication to helping them achieve their real estate goals. Relying on my experience as a real estate paralegal and being highly organized, I am able to help make the transition between contract and closing a smooth one for my clients. With an eye for interior and landscape design, I've been known to pitch in and help Sellers minimize and/or reorganize their belongings in order to stage their home to maximize its sale potential. I specialize in out of state buyers looking for their piece of paradise along the Gulf Coast and make it a priority to keep them up to date on our quickly changing local real estate market. I welcome the opportunity to share with you all Sarasota and her surrounding islands have to offer!
