Looking for a houseplant to add some color to your indoor plant collection with white flowers? Many plants can actually show their white blossoms indoors, so depending on your goals, you have a lot of options! We look at our top indoor plants with eye-catching white blossoms in this article!
1. Moth Orchid
The moth orchid is an exotic beauty with blooms that are often white but can also be a variety of other pastel colors. However, for a modern but elegant show, the moth orchid’s lengthy white flowers are unmatched!
This plant, which is native to Southeast Asia, needs bright, indirect light; therefore, rooms with windows to the south or west are the best places for it to grow. With proper care, this plant’s flowers can last up to four at a time and typically rebloom within a year. The moth orchid, like other orchid species, is susceptible to root rot as well as other fungi infections; therefore, it can quickly succumb to overwatering. In general, your moth orchid shouldn’t be left to sit in water and should only be irrigated when the sphagnum moss where it is placed feels dry.
2. Baby toes
This succulent is well-known for its lovely appearance all year. A window plant with succulent, juicy leaves that, like, you guessed it, baby toes, require little maintenance. Fenestraria rhopalophylla develops little white flowers in the spring and fall that are also stunningly gorgeous. Remember to place your Baby Toes succulents in the brightest window for the best plant growth.
3. Angel Wing Begonia
White flowers are present in the Angel Wing Begonia variety, but the plant’s actual highlight is its dark green leaves with reddish undersides. It is because of these large, wing-like leaves that the plant is given its name. Once it blooms, small, sweet white blossoms start to appear along the stem, giving the otherwise stately plant a burst of white.
Angel wing begonia flowers can be white, pink, orange, or red, but white is the most typical shade. These flowers will produce more blossoms when grown in brighter (indirect) light. This very large houseplant should bloom all year if it is properly cared for.
4. Amaryllis
Another indoor plant with lovely white blossoms is the White Nymph variety of Amaryllis. It will naturally blossom in February, April, and May with the right care. Deadhead the spring blossoms and relocate the plant to a cooler, drier place in early fall if you want the plant to bloom its lovely white blooms for the winter holidays. About 10 weeks before the target flowering time, stop watering the plant. When a blossom stalk emerges, stop watering.
5. Cyclamen
The cyclamen is a popular and well-liked houseplant, and its lovely, glossy leaves and delicate, sweet-smelling flowers make them a wonderful addition to any space, particularly during the summer when they are in bloom. This tiny plant, which is native to the Mediterranean, is just 6 to 9 inches tall on average and needs a summer dormant period during which it dies down to its roots before blooming again in the fall.
This plant thrives in partial sun and dry, well-drained soil and needs frequent watering. It has beautiful heart-shaped leaves marbling in shades of green and silver. This plant, also known as the Persian cyclamen or Persian violet, should be kept out of the reach of both children and animals because it is toxic if consumed.
6. Peace Lily
The peace lily is a commonly available alternative for indoor plants with white blossoms. When the right growing circumstances are present, they produce numerous white flowers (or spathes), prefer lower light than the majority of blooming houseplants, and have gorgeous glossy leaves. It is a fantastic plant for cleaning the air inside homes as well. There is a variant known as “Domino” if you’re seeking white plants with white-variegated leaves.
7. Crown of Thorns
Despite its sombre and Biblical name, the crown of thorns is a joy to use at home. This plant requires little maintenance and produces small, circular white blossoms that help to moderate the coldest months of the year and potentially the entire year.
