The best autumn houseplants for adding color to your home
Give your home autumn vibes with these colorful houseplants
Red and green croton plant

For many people, the vibrant reds and golds of autumn are the best part of the season. As the season goes on, however, the colors fade as more leaves fall and begin to decompose. While these leaves are great for your garden, you might find yourself missing their beautiful colors. Luckily, there's a way to enjoy these colors even after the season ends. Bringing home an autumn houseplant is an excellent way to create a cozy and seasonal atmosphere. From the bright colors of croton and coleus to the more subtle accents of peperomia, these are our favorite autumn houseplants for any season.
Croton

Enter a garden center during the late summer or autumn and you’ll encounter a croton plant. While these fall plants are ubiquitous, they are by no means boring. They typically flaunt dark, lance-shaped leaves with splashes of yellow, red, and orange. Some varieties feature more lobe-shaped foliage, albeit in similar colors. Crotons are relatively easy to care for, but you definitely want to avoid leaving them by drafty windows — this is a surefire way to get falling leaves, and not in a good way.  Be sure to place them in gritty, loose soil, as they may attract fungus gnats and get root rot in a heavy and water-retentive medium.

The 4 best types of indoor ferns for any home gardener
Add these ferns to your collection
Bird's nest fern in planter

There are over 20,000 varieties of ferns around the world, and most of them can be grown both outdoors and indoors! Since they come in a variety of shapes, textures, and colors, a potted fern will add a nice touch of greenery and life to an indoor space especially when the right fern care system is established. Not all types of ferns are ideal for growing indoors, but these four are! Whether you're an expert gardener or are just starting today, you can easily grow any of these four types of ferns.
Bird’s nest fern

Lending reason to their name, bird’s nest ferns are found in palm trees when in their native environment. They make the most unique houseplant when provided the right indoor environment. Bird’s nest ferns have large, tropical-like fronds that are similar to the look of banana leaves. They’re crinkled and wrinkly, adding a fun touch to your indoor collection.
Caring for your bird’s nest fern
Warmth and moisture will be your best friends when growing an indoor potted bird’s nest fern. That means some of the best places for bird’s nest ferns are in your bathroom! Whether on a windowsill by the tub or on a ledge near the shower, the warmth, humidity, and moisture created in a bathroom will be an ideal home environment. Bird’s nest ferns prefer indirect/filtered light to light shade, so avoid setting it in direct light, but be sure the space you choose has an adequate amount of lighting during the day.

End the growing season right with these flowers
Scarecrow among fall flowers

What do you do when the summer flowers in your yard get tired and begin to die back? Hit the landscape refresh button with festive autumn color. Depending on your growing zone, late summer or early fall is the time to switch out summer annuals for fall flowers. There are many autumn flowers to choose from, and even some foliage plants that can serve as excellent accents. Whether you're looking for a few small plants to hold your garden over until spring or want to dedicate your entire garden to the season, these fall flowers are a great place to start.
Annual fall flowers

These cool-season annuals will add brilliant color to any garden. Whether you're looking for a few flowers to grow in pots on your front porch or a wide variety to fill your garden with fall beauty, we've got you covered.
Chrysanthemums
Mums display mounds of color in autumn shades of white, peach, yellow, orange, bronze, and red. Even the flower types offer variety, such as button, daisy, spider, quill, pompon, reflex, and incurved flower styles, just to name a few. Around this time of year, you’ll find them everywhere, from the garden center to the grocery store in pots ranging from 2 inches to 2 feet. Mums work virtually everywhere, from tabletop decor to instant container garden color to massed landscape plantings.
Pansies
Pansies deliver long-lasting, cool-season color in nearly every shade imaginable. Heavy, consistent flowering and outstanding versatility make pansies the most useful flower for fall. Use them for annual color beds, mixed container plantings, and even hanging baskets. Traditional varieties grow in mounded forms, while some newer types trail. In mild climates, pansies bloom straight through winter. In colder areas, they'll return to rebloom in spring.
Violas
These small-flowered relatives of pansies offer greater resilience to adverse growing conditions with perhaps even heavier flowers than their cousins. Violas come in seemingly endless color options, including many multicolor blooms. They offer outstanding cold tolerance and perform well in soggy, wet weather. The small flowers work best in locations where they'll be seen from a close distance, such as annual beds in high-traffic areas or in container gardens.
Dianthus
Dianthus offers masses of brilliant color and delightful aroma. This low-growing annual comes in a range of colors in white, pink, red, and purple tones to complement any garden. Use them in containers or mass plantings,; however, be sure to grow them where you can thoroughly take in the fragrance.
Snapdragons
Snapdragons are perfect for the shoulder seasons, preferring the cool days of fall and spring to the sweltering summers. With both dwarf and standard varieties to choose from, snaps are useful for borders, adding height to mixed garden and container plantings, and they hold up quite well as fresh-cut flowers. In mild regions, snapdragons return to flower again in spring.
Ornamental peppers
These veggies are meant to be seen, not eaten, and they're just right for autumn. The small, colorful peppers ripen to shades of yellow, orange, red, and purple. With several varieties available, the fruits come in different shapes and sizes, from the globe-shaped "Black Pearl" to the "Chilly Chili," which looks like tongues of fire.
