Christmas Cactus
Festive, floral, and full of colour - who can resist the charming Christmas Cactus? They'll arrive in bloom with bright, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of pink or white. This pet-friendly houseplant is said to symbolise answered prayers, as legend has it a little boy prayed to the heavens for a sign of Christmas. Then one day, he awoke to find himself surrounded by the flowers on the tips of these cacti. Whilst we’re not promising miracles, we are sure that this indoor plant will add some fun and colour to your home this festive season.
Hellebore
Who said all indoor plants have a dormant period during winter? The Hellebore will bloom from November until February, lighting up those dark days and bringing joy to your home with its star-shaped flowers. For this reason, it’s one of the best houseplants to enjoy around the Christmas season – hence its common name, Christmas Rose. The charming flowers will provide an uplifting and charming way to spruce up your interiors this festive season.
Cyclamen
Christmas is a great time to embrace colour, and that’s exactly what you can expect with the Cyclamen. With tall, pink blooms and marbled, heart-shaped leaves, it will perk up your home during the festive period with ease. Don’t have much light? No problem, the Cyclamen can thrive in low light, making it one of the best plants for shade! Expect to see this plant bloom for around six weeks. After this plant has finished flowering in winter, it will go into a dormant state in the warmer months – but don't panic, it isn't dead, it's just resting until it blooms again!
ZZ Plant
Introducing the ZZ plant, one of the most common house plants, meaning you probably already have it within your collection! Adorn its tough leaves with baubles to make it look suitably merry and bright for Christmas. Its deep green colouring is effortlessly festive, too.
Swiss Cheese Plant
Could these be the most famous leaves on a houseplant? The Swiss Cheese Plant, also known as Monstera, is a tall houseplant, best known for its big, holey leaves, and you can really accentuate these for the Christmas period by gently and carefully wrapping fairy lights around them. The perfect amount of sparkle and minimal effort!
