If winter seems too long, houseplants can make your home brighter – especially ones that have vibrant colors in their leaves and flowers! Some houseplants produce flowers under the right conditions – and you can find lots of colors, including dazzling shades of orange. So, which houseplants have orange flowers? Houseplants with orange flowers include Basket Vine, Christmas Cactus, Eternal Flame, Florist Kalanchoe, Golden Brush, Goldfish Plant, Hippeastrum, Parrot's Beak, Trailing Jade, and Woolly Rose.

If not, you can bring them inside for the winter and back outside in summer. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at 10 houseplants with orange flowers.
