You should plant them more in courtyards and open areas inside your home rather than bedroom or living room.

There is no better time for gardening than monsoon because water and right kind of sunlight along with moisture are available in perfect combination for your plants. Therefore, plants weather indoors or outdoors, this is your time to go for the right kind of flowers according to your choice- this is just the right time for this purpose. May I help you suggesting a few of them?
Guzmania
This plant belongs to Pineapple family with stiff leaves of glossy green color. You shall be surprised to see its flower that blooms from center of the plant and if maintained properly can stay up to six months. This plant is available in different colored flowers consisting red, green, orange and purple etc. Although this plant requires a warm weather but you can put it in little colder weather while blooming. This really is a beautiful flower- lovely.
Hibiscus
Generally the saying goes that Hibiscus needs a lot of space to spread and grow but the fact is that you can plant it in your home with proper trimming and maintaining it properly. I have done it successfully as I have this flower in my home as well as front yard. This flower is available in different colors like red, pink, orange and yellow although I have only pink and bright red. If you are willing to grow a plant in your living area, please keep it in a position where sunlight is available and never forget to keep soil moist.
Flowers Maple
This is beautiful the flower maple, which is available in red, pink, orange and yellow but with its looks of crepe paper, this is unique and different and perfect plant for indoors. If you are going to have a maple flower plant in your home, let it grow like a tree but a proper pruning is must so that it does not grow too big. You can grow this lovely flower in hanging basket also with proper care.
Keep it moist although the plant does not need much water although this flower needs proper and bright sunlight therefore, the balcony or lawn is the best place for this lovely flower. You should place it in living room only when sunlight is directly available there.
African Violet
I find African violet as one of the best flowers as far as house plants are concerned since this is one of the easiest to grow and maintain. This plant is available in different verities and colors that make it really so complicated to select from so this depends upon availability and your own choice. If you can find it growing in any of your friends place, you only need to cut a leaf to convert it in to a full plant by placing the leaf in a pot. African violet needs a little warm temperature and filtered sunlight to grow nicely.
Oxalis
This is another plant, which is ideal for inside plantation with beautiful flowers triangular leaves and lovely colors. This plant is available in white and pink flowers a bush like shape that grows in shape of bulbs. Oxalis is another African plant that grows fast- therefore; to keep it maintained you must take extra bulbs out of the pot once in while. Sunlight is not much of a problem for this plant as it can grow in normal or bright light both.
Jasmine
Jasmine needs no description, as almost every one is aware it and almost every one plant it in open areas. However if some one does not have an open area and wants to keep a plant of two inside his house, this is possible to grow it in a big pot with proper pruning. There are varieties like many flowered Jasmine or Arabian Jasmine to select for home plantation purpose, which are available in white and pink. Be careful to keep the plant moist with bright and proper sunlight to keep plant going for longer duration. The flower has a sweet smell.
Brazilian Fireworks
This is one of the best flower plants for outdoors, lawn or courtyards if planted in pots. This is better to keep it in shaded areas to save it from direct sunlight although light is must for this pant. The name fireworks denote its quality of frequent change of shades in its flowers, which is possible while it remains in proper lighting conditions.
Leaves of Brazilian Firework are silver colored that makes it more beautiful and graceful. As I have described earlier that this plant needs medium to bight light but away from direct sunlight, with plenty of watering.
Anthurium
Anthurium is another beautiful flower plant with thousands of varieties to choose. This plant needs shade atmosphere during rooting process as direct sunlight may hamper the process. Once rooting process is complete the plants can be transplanted to pots or outside in lawns etc. Anthurium plant in pots with firm roots can enable climbing the plant in shape of vine. This is possible to grow Anthurium through cuttings if rooted in pots in mixture of earth and sand. As usual proper lighting and watering is must to keep it stay for longer duration.
