Winter can be\u00a0a hard time\u00a0for\u00a0gardeners; the last blooms of the year begin to die\u00a0back, bulbs are\u00a0moving\u00a0indoors to overwinter, and many trees lose their lush foliage. Even if you live in an area where winters are warmer, the shorter days and fewer hours of sunlight\u00a0likely leave\u00a0you with less time to tend to your garden.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But you can still enjoy the\u00a0colours\u00a0of a spring and summer garden by adding a few winter-blooming houseplants to your collection. These\u00a0colourful\u00a0plants\u00a0give\u00a0you something to admire while you wait for warmer weather to return.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bromeliads<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

An exotic plant that adds beauty to your home during\u00a0winter,\u00a0bromeliads have strappy leaves that <\/span>are topped<\/span> by\u00a0colourful\u00a0clusters of flowers in shades of red, orange, yellow, pink, purple, or white.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An individual bromeliad plant will only bloom once, but it will produce offshoots that will grow and bloom as they mature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

African Violets<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

The flowers on African violets can last for several weeks, any time of the year, including during winter and can bloom continuously with proper care. The plant has fuzzy leaves with ruffled edges that give way to a rosette of purple flowers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anthurium<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

Anthuriums are cheery, exotic\u00a0flowering houseplants\u00a0with glossy, green, heart-shaped leaves topped by heart-shaped pink, red, or white, long-lasting blooms. Healthy grown anthuriums bloom\u00a0almost all\u00a0year long if they get enough light, fertiliser, and moisture; and if conditions are warm and humid enough, the blooms can last for months. <\/span>This<\/span> is why\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0important to place them indoors where it is warmer during the cold months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Holiday Cactus<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

Unlike a lot of desert cacti, holiday cacti are epiphytes, meaning that instead of growing on the ground, they grow on tree limbs.\u00a0They have green, flattened stems, often with toothed margins and lovely flowers in shades of yellow, peach, orange, red, pink, purple, or white.\u00a0The flowers typically appear during the coldest months of the year and last for four to six weeks.\u00a0So,\u00a0bringing them indoors during autumn and winter is the best idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
