These Flowering Indoor Plants Will Survive In Singapore's Tropical Climate
1. Orchid

There is a common misconception that orchid plants are difficult to grow. But don’t be fooled by their often delicate appearance, as these tropical flowering plants are actually easy to maintain.

For optimum growth, it is essential to invest in a premium orchid mix when you plant it in a pot, which will promote healthy drainage, root growth and allow for quality air flow.

The key to not killing your orchid is to make sure you are not over or under watering it. Just water it directly from the tap every week for a few seconds.

2. Peace Lily

When it comes to plants that remove toxins from the air, you can’t go past the elegant, simple-to-keep peace lily. In all its white-and-green glory, this popular houseplant – which thrives without too much watering and little sunlight – works to naturally cleanse your home of pollutants like acetone, a nasty carcinogen inherent in polishes and paints.

3. Cyclamen

Available in vivid shades of purple, pink, red and white, the cyclamen is one of the most well-known and beloved flowering indoor plants. They like living in a light, airy place, and so as long as you don’t leave them in a dark room, they can last years in a pot. To care for your plant, let its soil dry out before you give it a good drowning in water.

4. Bougainvillea

Although you often see the bougainvillea along the streets of Singapore or cascading around a verandah, this stunning plant can also be potted and pruned to grow as a tree indoors. Don’t forget to place it under plenty of light with a saucer underneath, because it loves being well-watered.

5. African violet

African violets are the ideal flowering plants for apartments or small spaces. This plant will be happiest on a window sill or a coffee table that’s placed away from direct sunlight, as it’s a delicate houseplant that requires minimal attention and lots of affection.

6. Lavender
image

Yes, you can grow lavender in Singapore. This fragrant plant is perfectly happy planted indoors in a sunny spot. Alternatively, you can place a potted plant in a bathroom – as long as you keep it well-watered, you’ll be rewarded with perennial purple flowers and a divine scent wafting through your home.
