There’s nothing scarier than a home with no house plants! The décor of your home is enhanced by house plants all year long, but why not add some fall color with some seasonal ones this fall season? These ten gorgeous autumn-colored houseplants will help you turn up the cozy fall vibes indoors or add some spook factor to your home. Plus, you’ll be able to keep them indoors well beyond when the fall season is over.
Fall-Colored Houseplants
There are endless possibilities for colorful fall plants, from classic fall colors like red, orange, and yellow to vibrant purple and pink blooms. These houseplants are perfect for the fall season, from crotons to orange philodendrons.
Croton
Something about its name even sounds like fall. Crotons are an excellent addition to your houseplant collection, featuring all the seasonal autumn colors combined! Its green leaves come in a limitless variety of color combinations ranging from red, yellow, orange, and green. Even though many crotons prefer full sunlight, many cultivars can tolerate and sometimes prefer light shade.
Snake Plant
With a name this spooky, we had to feature the snake plant on this list. Snake plants make a statement and even purify the air. As a luxuriant, fleshy plant with razor-sharp leaves in deep green color with light gray-green horizontal stripes, snake plants represent “spooky” in all the right ways.
Ornamental Eggplant
Ornamental eggplants look like little pumpkins; it doesn’t get cuter than that. Bright orange ornamental eggplants can add a seasonal touch to your home, and you can eat them afterward! To grow them in pots, plant one eggplant per container and fill it with well-draining potting soil. These cute little pumpkins make for excellent additions to charcuterie boards once fully grown.
Prince of Orange Philodendron
Vibrant tones of deep orange and red define the autumn season, and the easiest way to incorporate those tones into your home décor is with the Prince of orange philodendron! These autumn-colored houseplants have deep orange bronze leaves that transition into a red apple shade as the plant matures. When they reach full size, they develop a greenish tone, displaying a tone similar to what you’d see with the changing colors of the autumn leaves.
Spider Plant
The spider plant may sound spooky, but its appearance is anything but that. Spider plants are unique for their breathtaking clumpy foliage that is long and thin, with solid green or variegated white foliage. Fun fact: spider plants were extra popular during the Victorian era, making them perfect to create an on-point, themed haunted house this fall season.
Anthurium
Flaming red as an autumn leaf in the fall, the leaves of the anthurium are nothing to be forgotten. It is possible to grow anthuriums outdoors in the garden in warm climates; however, they are better grown indoors because their care requirements are more particular than some of the other plants on this list. Now that the weather’s getting a bit chillier, what better time to dedicate to getting to know the care needs of the anthurium plant?
Poinsettia
You probably think of Christmas when you think of poinsettias, but if you kept your plant from last year, you could showcase it as part of your indoor fall décor! They feature that gorgeous shade of red, which is already reminiscent of the fall season. Whoever said poinsettias were only a Christmas plant was a liar!
Prayer Plant
Prayer plants aren’t difficult to care for, but they do need a bit of special attention. Don’t let that scare you, though! The scarier outcome is missing out on the distinct beauty of their beautiful variegated leaf patterns that incorporate hues of red, burgundy, and greens!
Neon Pothos
With creepy crawly vining leaves, the pothos plant will spook right up on you, and you’ll fall in love with it forever. Often variegated with white, yellow, and pale green shades, leaves are a heart shape with waxy and bright green coloring, ideal for bringing bright autumnal colors inside.
‘Strawberry Cream’ Syngonium
A name so delicious, it almost makes you hungry for Thanksgiving dessert! Strawberry cream syngonium features a brilliant shade of variegated pinkish-green leaves that make your home feel sweet and comforting and add to your colorful foliage collection. Keep their soil moist by watering gently once or twice a week, with medium to bright indirect light.
