Indoor Plant Ideas for Winter
One thing I really miss during the winter is the color green. The bare leafless trees start to look forlorn and I miss the shades of lush green grass. The outside world begins to look monochromatic during winter and since I can’t add color outside, I can bring the greenery indoors. I found some indoor plant ideas for winter over at Houzz.

This room has a beautiful assortment of topiary style plants.
I love the planted urn and the large botanical on the wall.

How about a large indoor planter? We have them outside, why not inside?
I love this one planted with ferns. Kitty is cute, too!

Terrariums are making a comeback and are truly a work of art.
They can be simple or ornate and you’ll find a variety of glass jars to house the plants.

A few air plants dot the wall of this bathroom.
They require very little maintenance and a great for people with brown thumbs.

Have you ever grown a citrus plant indoors? I remember when we were kids, my brother bought a miniature orange tree. He was bragging to me how he was going to have a ton of little oranges. I was so jealous, but the plant never bore any fruit which secretly made me happy. I would love to grow a citrus plant indoors some day.

Here’s a clever way to display indoor plants.
I think the container is just as important as the plant itself.
Fill a windowsill with succulents and cacti.
Neither requires a lot of watering so these plants are another good choice for people without green thumbs.
Earlier this year I shared how to make these hanging globe terrariums.
The globes have hooks on the bottom so you can hang several together.
I love my mossy pot with its simple circle topiary. Adding indoor plants during the winter months can lift your spirits and make the wait for spring a little more bearable.
The “citrus plant” is probably a kumquat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumquat So, did you decide which plant(s) you need?
Hi Fonda. Maybe it is a kumquat. It’s really hard to tell them apart in the pictures. I like topiaries a lot. I had a rosemary one but I forgot to water it so it died. I’d like to try it again though … and this time remember to water it! 😉
Have you thought of an orchid? I buy the small ones with plenty of buds so they flower for a long time. I just rotate the one that drops it’s flowers with another that is budding. I love the delicate look.
I love orchids, Joanne. Are they hard to grow? I always thought they were sensitive.
No, not at all. Don’t plant them in soil, but instead in a mixture made especially for orchids. Put one ice cube on top for a small plant, once a week. That way you make sure they are not sitting in water. They like light, but not direct sun. The flowers last a long time. Google care of orchids. I like the white ones but I also have one with the palest of green blooms. Give one a try, Jennifer. I think you’ll be pleased.
Thanks for the growing tips, Joanne! I’m going to keep my eye out for an orchid and give it a try!

Thanks Julia! I hope your New Year is blessed, too!
I have so many plants indoors and outdoors; when winter comes it is a stress because I do not know where to place them inside so they do not freeze …
