Types of Indoor Plants Suitable for Fall

In the fall, many types of indoor and outdoor plants begin to yellow, and by winter, they often shed their leaves and wither. To prevent your home or garden from becoming drab, you can take advantage of the cool fall weather to plant certain varieties that still thrive and bloom during the fall and winter seasons.

You should consider which plants are suitable for fall planting to choose ones that fit your preferences and living space.

The bright, vibrant colors of these plants stand out in the low-light conditions typical of fall and winter. As a result, they are often chosen by those who want a lively living space year-round.

If you love roses, fall is a great time to plant them. If you already have roses, you should prune the branches so that the plants enter the growing season and bloom beautifully.

Even young rose plants just a few months old that you plant this fall will not fear the winter. Roses can successfully survive the winter if you plant them before it gets too late.

If you plant roses in the ground, it’s even more important to plant them early so they can establish themselves well before the winter chill sets in. Planting too late can affect the plant’s cold tolerance. Even if planting in pots, you should choose a hardy variety that is easier to care for.

Bougainvillea blooms year-round. As fall arrives with cooler weather, the plant grows stronger and enters a vigorous blooming phase. If the plant was established before, fall is the time to enjoy its most vibrant display. If you start planting in the fall, blooming may be slightly delayed, but the plant will quickly recover, grow, and flourish by spring.

Peonies, often called the “queen of flowers,” usually bloom around the Lunar New Year. Peonies are stunning but have a relatively short blooming period.

The best time to plant peonies is in the fall. Purchase plants that are in their pre-blooming growth phase and plant them at this time. This way, you won’t have to wait too long to enjoy their magnificent blooms.

However, if you dig up peonies from the ground to transfer them into pots, it will be challenging to see blooms by the upcoming Lunar New Year. Since the root system will be somewhat damaged, the plant will need a longer recovery period and will likely only bloom in the second spring after planting.
