Best indoor Flowering plants for Kerala's Climatic Condition

Orchids

The most common indoor flowering plants are orchids. Many hybrids are fairly simple to grow and bloom in most domestic environments. Most of their roots will be located above the pot, and they frequently extend outside and even along the shelf. Do not interrupt them because this is quite natural.

With typical room temperatures and filtered light from an east or west window, your orchids will thrive. They can even be relocated to direct light or in a south window during the short winter days. If placed under a grow light, orchids can be placed in an interior space or on a desk at work.

Peace Lily

The herbaceous perennial peace lily is primarily planted indoors. Its deep-green glossy leaves and long-lasting, sporadic white blossoms make it a popular specimen or accent plant for interior groupings.

The plant tolerates deep shade and flowers profusely with no set blooming season. The Peace Lily grows best indoors in damp soil that is not waterlogged, making it the perfect bathroom plant. Between waterings, the soil should dry out, but not to the point where it causes the leaves to wilt and become yellow.

Jasmine

Jasmine needs consistent watering throughout the year (although it can get a little drier in the winter) and cooler temperatures in the fall to encourage flowering to grow well.

These plants can tolerate fall temperatures of 40 degrees Fahrenheit with little trouble since they are considerably more cold-tolerant than most people realise. If your plant doesn't bloom, it probably didn't receive the necessary chilly fall weather to encourage blossoms.

Start with us if you have never grown jasmine inside before because it is much easier to manage.

Poinsettia

Poinsettias, also known as lobster flowers or flame-leaf flowers, are the most well-liked holiday flowers. They are frequently presented as gifts in late November and throughout December and make wonderful holiday decorations.

Your poinsettias may remain vibrant for many months with careful care. If they are not exposed to freezing conditions, poinsettias can keep their colour until March.

Although not dangerous (according to research at Ohio State University), some latex-allergic people have experienced a skin response after touching the leaves, most likely because of the sap. The sap from poinsettias might make animals feel a little queasy or irritated. It is probably advisable to keep pets away from the plant, particularly young animals like puppies and kittens.

Ixora

The fact that Ixora blooms year-round is one of its best features. Each bloom cluster can persist for six to eight weeks, adding enduring beauty and colour to your environment.

 

Colors available in the Ixora variety include vivid red, orange, yellow, pink, and white.

In perfect circumstances, Ixora blooms continuously. Although this plant can be planted in partial shade, it needs full sun for the best bloom output, especially in large-leaved forms. Additionally, although though Ixora may be pruned as needed and can withstand shearing, pruning will lessen your plant's flowering.
