Fortunately, the list of some of the most popular flowering houseplants below should make it easier for you to choose your blooms.
African Violets
These blooms have a huge following, and it’s not hard to understand why. The blooms are free flowering, compact, and are available in different colours and forms. When watered carefully, and when supplied with enough humidity and indirect bright light, the plant can bloom several times a year. In fact, it’s not unheard of for some growers to keep their violets in bloom almost all year round.
Peace Lilies

It’s tough, free flowering, and undemanding—one pot planted and supplied only the basics is capable of yielding a number of beautiful blooms. Better yet, it’s available in numerous varieties, such as the bushy or trailing varieties and different foliage begonias, each capable of surviving in a certain condition.

Their blooms rise from the middle of the cup in tall and colourful spikes of bracts. Making them bloom can be quite hard to do. Fortunately, however, new flowers last weeks or months and sport beautiful foliage.
