Keeping Compost Plants Indoors

Hi, I have a few plant pots which contain compost in my living room, is this bad?, do I need to treat the compost well? I have noticed a few flies, but can these lay eggs etc?…. Are these coming from the composted plants. Lastly, I had a “Hyacinth” can these grow back yearly?, How long should they last for?? I am HIV+ so not sure if having compost in my flat is dangerous. Hope you can help, James Nightingale PS: when it comes to having in door plants is it better to have plastic ones??
