Beautiful Holiday Houseplants That Aren't Poinsettia

Bored with Poinsettias? If you’re looking for another flowering plant to decorate your home for the holidays, you have plenty of other options in an array of colors and textures.

Here are my top 10 favorite houseplants for the winter holidays.

Christmas Cactus

You might know Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera x buckleyi) by its other names, as the plant is also labeled in stores as Thanksgiving cactus, Easter cactus, crab cactus, or simply, holiday cactus.

Cyclamen

Amaryllis

Amaryllis (Hippeastrum spp.) is a flowering bulb that often shows up in floral arrangements as just a single bulb, though larger bulbs will typically produce two or three flowering stems.

A close relative of daffodils, paperwhites (Narcissus papyraceus) are another lovely bulb that’s not as showy as some of these other options, but perfect for adding a bit of holiday cheer to a corner.

Paperwhite

Azaleas (Rhododendron spp.) are popular holiday houseplants since they thrive in cool temperatures and have long-lasting blooms (three to four weeks).
