I’ve always loved having flowers around the house, but let’s be real – they don’t last long. That’s why I’m so excited to share these 12 indoor plants that look just as pretty as bouquets, but stick around way longer!
1. Geraniums
Geraniums have always been my go-to for adding a pop of color to my home. These classic beauties produce vibrant blooms in a variety of colors, rivaling any store-bought bouquet. The best part? They’re incredibly easy to grow indoors year-round, making them perfect for both seasoned gardeners and newbies alike.

Oh, how I adore my coffee orchid! Its stunning pink blooms with intricate patterned petals never fail to catch the eye of visitors. Trust me, this showstopper outshines any flower bouquet you could buy. It’s become the centerpiece of my living room, and I couldn’t be happier.
3. Premium Sun Watermelon Coleus
I stumbled upon this unique coleus variety at a local nursery, and it was love at first sight. The premium sun watermelon coleus boasts pink leaves with cream highlights and lime green edges. It thrives in filtered or partial sun, making it the perfect addition to my slightly shaded sunroom.
4. Poinsettias
Every holiday season, I can’t resist bringing home a poinsettia or two. Their deep red bracts over lush green foliage instantly create a festive atmosphere in any room. I’ve even managed to keep a few alive well past the holidays, much to my delight!

Hydrangeas hold a special place in my heart. Their blooms come in multiple shades, from soft blues to vibrant pinks. I love how they brighten up my home from spring to fall, providing months of colorful joy.

During the colder months, cyclamen becomes my go-to indoor plant. With their colorful blossoms, they give tough competition to traditional flower bouquets. They’ve become a staple in my holiday decor, adding a touch of elegance to my winter wonderland.
7. African Violets
These compact beauties have been a constant in my indoor garden for years. Their thick, dark green foliage provides the perfect backdrop for stunning violet blooms. They’re my secret weapon for adding a splash of color to small spaces.

Clivia plants have become my solution for those tricky spots with morning sunlight and afternoon shade. Their dark green leathery leaves and bright orange blooms make for a striking display that rivals any bouquet.
