What is Indoor Gardening?

A popular practice among city dwellers, indoor gardening is growing easy-to-maintain plants in any indoor space such as homes, restaurants and offices. Due to limited space in the urban landscape and the rising pollution levels, gardening enthusiasts have now switched to this alternative; it allows them to be in complete control of their environment.

Though reasons to opt for indoor gardening can vary, the most common understanding is that plants improve the quality of the air we breathe and add a touch of freshness while improving the beauty of a décor.

What Should You Focus on When Indoor Planting?

Before opting for indoor gardening, it is important to keep in mind a few basic pre-requisites. Here are some tips and tricks to start your greenhouse. The key is to choose the right plant. Always choose easy-to-care, low-maintenance plants. You can buy seeds and plants from an online nursery or physically visit a near-by established nursery.

Space

Examine, analyse and plan the space you will require to start your indoor garden. A well-lit, well-ventilated space with adequate sunlight is a must. Usually, a south-facing room with windows has high light; you can find medium-light in an east or west-facing room and consider a north-facing room with no windows as a low-light room. Avoid dark corners. While you are at it, do explore the environment to decide what plants are suitable to grow.

Gardening lights

It is one of the most important factors to grow a healthy flowering plant. However, there are some houseplants that can survive in low light as well. Avoid keeping them in air-conditioned rooms. If your room doesn’t have a plentiful supply of sunlight, place them near the window and rotate the plant every few weeks for it grows evenly.

Time

As exciting as indoor gardening may sound, it requires a lot of patience and dedication. Though some plants need no extra care, most indoor plants blossom when cared. While choosing a plant, understand the time required for it to grow.

Indoor Plant Fertilizer and Soil

Always opt for organic fertilisers and container soil for your plant to lower the risk diseases and insects. Light and fluffy soil work like magic. Change the soil to a fresh one as often as possible. You can also look for DIY options such as eggshells, banana peels and green tea to fertilise the plant naturally.

House Plant Watering

Just like light, water is one of the most important factors to grow healthy, flowering indoor plants. The key is to know the right amount. Avoid overwatering or underwatering them. Every plant has different requirement of water. It is recommended that you water these plants every few days.

Benefits of Indoor Gardening

Seeing your hard work bear fruit can fill you up with a sense of achievement and satisfaction. Especially, when you have invested your time and energy; starting an indoor garden is one of them.

For many, it also has a therapeutic effect. It is believed that while some indoor plants have a positive impact on one’s mood, anxiety and stress level, others promote better sleep.

Indoor gardening has a number of benefits. From beautifying and giving your home decor a fresh avatar to improving the air quality, here are some benefits of this type of gardening:

Fresh Produce from Your Garden Plants on Your Plate

The rising level of pollution has made people aware of what they eat and how they are produced. One of the reasons why indoor gardening is trending is because one can produce not just flowering plants but also herbs, microgreens, fruits and vegetables. Since these products are homegrown, you need not worry about pesticides.

Plants you can grow in the indoor kitchen garden: Cherry tomatoes, turnip, lettuces, peas, basil, sage, rosemary and microgreens.

Brighten Up Your Home Décor with Interior Gardening

Add a dash of freshness and natural colour to your home décor with plants. Especially, with flowering plants, you have a lot to experiment with. Try growing plants that are of contrasting colours; this will oomph up your living room and complements the indoor setup too. Fill up your home with ornamental plants like Spider plant, Areca palms or Boston ferns, and watch your neighbours go gaga over the lush green cover. Try your hands with terrariums. They are trendy, and the fact that they require no maintenance makes them one of the most preferred indoor gardening techniques. Succulents too are a good choice. They too are easy-to-care plants and needs very less water.

You can grow low maintenance indoor plants: Zebra plant, Swedish Ivy, Boston Fern, Ponytail palm, Spider plant, Orchids, Rose, Lily, Radiator plant, Areca palm and prayer plant.

Indoor Plants are Air Purifying

Indoor plants are excellent agents to improve air quality. They not only provide fresh veggies and herbs for your kitchen but produce oxygen and suck up impurities from the air. Try growing a vertical garden in your living room for an extra patch of green cover. You can also experiment with sustainable planters made of old tyres, chest of drawers, beer bottles, old teapots, etc.

You can grow low maintenance indoor plants: English Ivy, Dragon tree, Peace lily, Chinese evergreen, Bamboo palm, Snake plant a.k.a Mother-in-Law's Tongue, Chrysanthemum and Aloe Vera.

With the rising pollution levels and the current uncertainty for the pandemic, indoor gardening is an ideal way to bring in a touch of greenery in your life. So, go all out and experiment with the creative possibilities to turn your home into a green space and be close to nature all year round.
