@tarev lives in a very hot, dry area of the country and she may be able to give you some suggestions. I think she grows a hoya or two and possibly orchid cactus as well. Many succulent like plants can withstand hot, dry conditions. Plants that like some humidity can be sprayed with a water hose (if outside) or with a water bottle when indoors; or they can be placed on trays with moist pebbles, which raises the humidity around the plants.
I have a
Star Jasmine (Jasminum laurifolium var. laurifolium) planted in my yard and it maintains a height and width of about 3'. It could be grown in a container indoors and should bloom if given enough light.
