As the weather cools, we retreat indoors and spend more time huddled under blankets, thick sweaters and fuzzy socks. This is where indoor flowering plants come in\u2014adding warmth, color and life to your living space during the colder months. The indoor world feels far more inviting when flowers help offset the gray winter skies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<nav class=\"wp-block-gplus-anchor-table\"><ol><li class=\"wp-block-gplus-anchor-table__level-2\"><a class=\"wp-block-table-of-contents__entry\" href=\"#1-african-violets\">1.

They come in several varieties and feature a petite size, vibrant colors\u2014most commonly purple, red, pink or white\u2014along with rosette-like flowers and soft, fuzzy leaves. You can easily group a number of these flowers together to create a colorful arrangement that will brighten your home this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight, preferably near a window, and in well-ventilated environments free from cold drafts. African violets also require a well-draining potting mix, as they perform poorly in either too dry or waterlogged soils. Although these plants prefer humid environments, they are sensitive to misting or having their leaves wet. This can cause browning spots to form. For constant blooms, be sure to fertilize regularly and deadhead the flowers as soon as they are spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-framed-heading\" id='2-indoor-roses'>2.

Miniature infinity roses (\u30a4\u30f3\u30d5\u30a3\u30cb\u30c6\u30a3\u30ed\u30fc\u30ba), for example, are a type of mini rose that are easy to find in Japan (even in supermarkets sometimes!) and bred for life inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roses require ample sunlight\u2014at least six hours of direct light near a southern or western exposed window\u2014otherwise, they will not be able to thrive. Additionally, like other indoor flowering houseplants, they require a warm and humid environment. Roses are prone to spider mites and are more susceptible if the air becomes too dry. As such, placing them on a bed of moist pebbles is one option to maintain their ideal humidity levels. These plants, like all of our flowering friends, will also likely need regular fertilizing to bloom indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-framed-heading\" id='3-begonias'>3.

Several varieties exist, but wax begonias\u2014named for their waxy leaves\u2014remain the most popular thanks to their unfussy nature and bright foliage. Begonias make lovely, affordable gifts and add a touch of attractiveness to any houseplant collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Begonias are relatively easy to care for, but overwatering can cause root rot. Allow the soil to dry out completely and let the plant show slight drooping before watering again. Additionally, since they are tropical plants, they require warm and humid environments (which is usually not a problem for most of the year in Japan). Begonias enjoy indirect sunlight and generally grow well indoors because they don\u2019t need extensive hours of daylight to produce a continuous supply of gorgeous blooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-framed-heading\" id='4-anthuriums'>4.

Their flowers, or \u201cspathes,\u201d resemble large, brightly colored leaves that bloom in bold reds, pinks and whites. Because they resemble poinsettias, anthuriums have grown increasingly popular as winter holiday decorations. These flowers make festive centerpieces and pair beautifully with other tropical plants, such as orchids and begonias, for year-round displays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anthuriums typically flower sporadically throughout the year, with each flowering period lasting about eight weeks. They may take a few months to adjust to a new environment, so don\u2019t worry if blooms don\u2019t appear right away. Place them near a window for direct sunlight, especially in winter, and maintain high humidity to help them thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-framed-heading\" id='5-orchids'>5.

The most common one is the <em>gochooran<\/em> (Phalaenopsis orchid), also known as a moth orchid for its eponymously shaped flowers. Measuring about two to five centimeters in diameter, these flowers can come in whites, purples and yellows and are capable of flowering for four to six months of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When keeping orchids, one fatal mistake is overwatering. While they certainly like quite a bit of water, root rot tends to settle in easily. As such, water orchids only when the top of the soil feels slightly dry. Choose soil explicitly designed for orchids, or opt for a well-draining mix that doesn\u2019t dry out too quickly. Place them near east- or west-facing windows for direct sunlight, maintain 40\u201360% relative humidity, and allow a 10-degree difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures to enjoy showy blooms at least once a year\u2014and twice if you\u2019re lucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these five flowering flora, you\u2019re well on your way to making your Japanese home warmer with splashes of colorful petals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What indoor flowering plants do you like to have inside during the winter months?
