10 Type Blooming on Christmas and New Year’s Indoor Flowering Plants

In the dreary winter months, the snowy landscape has become less and less of a fairy tale in recent years, and the interiors are so lacking in bright colors and moving accents! This makes it all the more important to cherish bright but fragile flowers. Not only can you enjoy the beauty of real flowers in bouquets during winter, but also in houseplants. There is little to choose from classic water lilies to hippies, poinsettias, and beloved orchids. Many popular and exotic species bloom just in time for winter. Of course, there are always some of the best-selling plants that are always arriving on the shelves on Christmas and New Year’s Eve. You will learn 10 Type Blooming on Christmas and New Year’s Indoor Flowering Plants in ThumbGarden’s article.

You can choose colorful indoor flowering plants by taste and color and by the period of maximum ornamental vigor you desire. You can find a blooming star among the flowers at any time of the year or any month. When planning your gardening, you can add individual flower highlights or create a complete relay by substituting flowers of some species for others. And winter is no exception.


Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera)

The very special Schlumbergera is called the “December” or “Christmas tree” for a reason. The pendulous, brightly colored shoots have flat sections that form an unusual amplexus and cascade that roots easily. And the tubular lantern flowers have very long stamens that make bright pink, red, orange, white, yellow, or bi-colored clouds.

Schlumbergera flowers in winter need soft diffused light, high air humidity, no spraying, careful watering, and little nutrition. Cool, almost dry conditions of 50-68 °F (10-20°C) from mid-autumn will help achieve flowering in the New Year.

Poinsettia

Poinsettia’s flowers are inconspicuous, but the brightly colored bracts on top turn the unassuming Euphorbia pulcherrima into a true “Christmas star.” This is the most reliable choice of winter-flowering species. Poinsettia can be saved to try to get them to bloom again or thrown away. To make sure that the plants decorate the house not during the week but throughout the winter, you need to consider gentle watering, not overwatering, bright light, stable temperature, no wind. And increase the humidity of the air.


Hippeastrum

Huge, lush, phonograph-like, bright bell-shaped inflorescences with a fan of dark, thread-like leaves on strong, broad stems look dazzling on winter windowsills. Hybrid varieties of Hippeastrum bloom without watering after resting in a cool place for 6-8 weeks. Hippeastrum needs bright light, protection from wind and heat, and light soil moisture.

Winter Begonia

Aspidistra elatior’s Begonia blooms brightly and elegantly, always looking primitive and modern. The elegant terry flowers have a special texture and are gathered in dense inflorescences above a dark mat of foliage. These Begonia look like aristocratic and bright lively bouquets when the beloved winter holidays are approaching. Begonia needs a cool break. And during the winter show – bright diffused light, careful watering, no extremes, and stable temperatures.


Widow’s-thrill (Kalanchoe)

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is the most unpretentious of the beautiful succulents, requiring only moderate care to satisfy. Its ability to store water is easy to guess from its fleshy dark leaves, which are decorated with beautifully serrated edges. But most importantly, its value lies in its ability to bloom year-round. The brightly colored caged inflorescences, consisting of simple small “stars” or terry “rosettes”, last for several months. These small, lively bouquets require bright light, little watering, and a steady temperature to bloom during the winter.

African violets

The beloved African violets can bloom all year round. However, if the plants are grown on a shelf in artificial extra light or moved to better light, they will not stop even in winter. The touching, neat rosettes, with their distinctive tumbling over gorgeous foliage and delicate simple or fuzzy flowers in loose inflorescences, are especially touching in midwinter. African violets need stable, light soil moisture and protection from frost.


Rhododendron and Camellia

In winter, the flowers of legendary shrubs such as Rhododendron and Camellia may also surprise you. Camellia blooms in cold conditions and cannot be enjoyed indoors – only skilled artisans can cultivate it.

Rhododendron, on the other hand, with responsible care, high humidity, good watering, correct pruning, protection from wind, and frequent ventilation, will be very happy on an east or west windowsill. Dense bushes with leathery, dark, elegant foliage hidden beneath clouds of pink or white inflorescences cannot be left indifferent. Rhododendron blooms after a break in the cold at 41-50 °F (5-10°C).

Phalaenopsis

Phalaenopsis orchids have flowers that last almost the entire year. And they tend to be more comfortable in the cooler winter months than in the hot summer months. Phalaenopsis plants look like veritable flying fairies or butterflies if they start blooming in the fall and continue through the winter. They work especially well in holiday decorations, adding an elegant accent and enlivening the interior.

In winter, orchids need to be kept in controlled humidity conditions and protected from radiators. Otherwise, the flowers won’t last long.


Moth orchids

Moth orchids are reminiscent of butterflies. With unusual upturned bright petals, bud-like leaves, and purple, pink or white acrylics, Moth orchids are always an eye-catcher. Miniature varieties of common cultivars, flashy, ruffled, or simple, all Moth orchids are the stars and special winter highlights.

Moth orchids may only decorate window sills, but they are lovely by cool windows. Moth orchids can bloom for a long time – not just in the New Year – if they are protected from the wind and sun and watered gently from below.


Cultivate Home Potted Plants

Delicate snowdrops, hyacinths, mini tulips, and charming daffodils are on sale not only on Valentine’s Day or March 8 but also on New Year’s Eve. Their charming blooms are a special wonder in any season, but they can create a real winter wonderland at home in January. Of course, it’s only temporary: any bulb will last more than a week in a warm living room, and 50-64 °F (10-18°C) in a cooler room for up to 3 weeks.

Bulbs can be bought already in full bloom and at the first bud stage, or you can grow your own bulbs. Plant healthy bulbs for an ideal pre-bloom period of 10 to 18 weeks of dark chilling and 2 to 5 weeks of active growth in warmth and light.

It’s not just bulbous flowers that are cultivated for the holidays. Primroses, roses, and gerberas can also be found on the winter counter. The bright appearance of “living bouquets” appeals to its apparent perfection, which can easily be lost if not properly cared for. And they are equally dependent on coolness, careful watering, and light intensity.
