As winter grips the outdoors, turning your home into a lush indoor sanctuary can bring warmth and happiness to the season.
Alex Biggart, a plant expert from 123 Flowers, shares his top picks for houseplants that thrive during the colder months and transform living spaces into green havens.
Orchids
Known for their delicate and colorful flowers, orchids add sophistication to any home. Surprisingly easy to care for, they thrive in indirect light and moderate humidity.
"Orchids are not only beautiful but also resilient during winter," says Biggart during an interview with Mirror. "They require minimal effort to stay happy, making them a favorite for plant lovers."
Bromeliads
For those who crave a vibrant splash of color, bromeliads are an excellent choice. These exotic plants bring a tropical touch to your home and thrive in warm indoor conditions.
“Bromeliads are ideal for winter because they’re low-maintenance and air-purifying,” Biggart explains. "They’re a great pick for those new to houseplants."
Mini Roses
If you love roses, consider miniature varieties like 'Fairy Tale' or 'Patio Hit.' These dainty plants bloom indoors during winter with the right care—plenty of light, well-drained soil, and regular attention.
Snake Plants
For those seeking a low-maintenance option, the snake plant, also known as bow hemp, is perfect. Its modern, upright leaves add a sleek design element to any room while requiring minimal care.
With these plants, you can create a cozy, vibrant escape from the dark winter days. Not only do they enhance your space with beauty and life, but they also lift your spirits and make the season feel a little warmer.
