Who says the outdoors should get all the fun? Consider bringing some life into your home with these fragrant houseplants! These inspiring houseplants will give your home the feel of a glasshouse. ⁠
⁠
🍫 Hoya compacta is a chocolate lover's dream. They are known for their waxy foliage and fragrant flowers. This member of the Apocynaceae family has a deep, rich chocolatey scent. But don’t eat it! ⁠
⁠
🍑 Depending on variety, Begonia bunchii has scents ranging from sweet roses to orangey or musky peaches. Begonias typically bloom from late spring until the first frost, but when grown indoors under optimal conditions, they can bloom year-round. ⁠
⁠
🌲 Steptocarpus ionanthus, commonly known as the African violet, is the perfect way to bring a little bit of the holidays into the summertime. This plant often smells like spicy cinnamon and cloves. ⁠
⁠
🌿 Spurflowers (Plectranthus spp.) sport a pungent, minty aroma, which is often compared to the smell of Vicks Vaporub. These autumn bloomers will tolerate low light and low humidity, but they are thirsty plants!⁠
⁠
🌺 Pelargoniums can make great houseplants when given bright light. Place this plant in a sunny window, and enjoy the natural perfume of pelargoniums all summer. These zonal geraniums are hard to kill, as long as you remember to water them regularly. ⁠
⁠
🐾 Kangaroo paws might not smell, but don’t they look interesting? We think they’re worth trying, especially if you have a glasshouse. Hardwired to perform in the Australian summer, these unique plants bring life to late winter in North America. ⁠
