Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum)

Anthurium
Another flowering houseplant favourite is the Anthurium. Like the Peace Lily, this plant also has colourful bracts that are often mistaken for flowers. Anthurium comes in a variety of colours, but in white it has an especially chic and contemporary look. Anthurium is easy to care for and well known for its long-lasting blooms.

Gardenia
Gardenia has elegant, creamy white blooms that smell wonderful too. Thanks to its compact growth, Gardenia looks best in a pot on a table or sideboard. It does need a little extra care, but rewards you generously with stunning blooms and a luxurious look. Place it somewhere with indirect sunlight and enjoy a subtle natural fragrance throughout your home! Read more about Gardenia here.
Gardenia’s creamy white blooms are nature’s own home fragrance.

Orchid
The elegant Orchid is a true classic among flowering houseplants. The Moth Orchid is the most popular variety thanks to its abundant, long-lasting blooms.

Hoya (Wax Plant)
Hoya, also known as the Wax Plant, is a tropical houseplant with an unexpected twist. At first glance, it may not appear to flower at all, but with the right care and a little patience, clusters of star-shaped, fragrant and iconic white blooms begin to appear. They look like tiny works of art! Thanks to its long trailing stems, Hoya is perfect as both a climbing and hanging plant. Put it, or hang it, in the right spot and Hoya is wonderfully easy to care for. Read more about it here.
Young Hoyas often don’t flower. Sometimes it takes years before the plant rewards your care with beautiful white blooms.
