Indoor Gardening – Starting Your Indoor Garden
If the climate makes keeping an outdoor garden too difficult, indoor gardening id a very good alternative. With temperatures below freezing for a good portion of the year, it is a good idea to bring your plants inside and rather start indoor gardening. Of course you may also want to do indoor gardening as part of your home decorating. Flowers blooming in your house add a lot to the décor, especially if you have the pride of having grown them yourself.

Plants that are suitable for indoor gardening:
Some plants are simply not suitable for indoor gardening. Some plants simply cannot be grown indoors. If they take a large amount of water it is best to keep them outside. Watering a plant indoors is more of a balancing act as outside. If you give it too much water you can end up drowning it and if you try not to over water it, you may end up not giving it enough water. For this reason it is best to pick a plant that does not require a lot of water. I think this is where the habit of growing succulents indoors originated, no watering problems as they need very little! Another bad aspect of indoor gardening comes when a plant drops leaves or flowers all over your floors. Make sure you’re familiar with what the plant does during all seasons, so that you don’t end up with a huge mess on your floor.
The amount of attention you will be able to give your plants:
When you get your plants from your nursery, make sure to inquire about the amount of attention they will need. If you do not have a lot of time available for your plants, go for plants that need very little attention. Once again I think we are moving into the direction of succulents. Remember that if you have many different plants in different places in your house, it is wise to set up a routine for watering and caring for your plants. Make sure you know how often each plant needs water and then color-code them with small tags or marks on the pot to make it easy for you to remember how much, and when, your plants need water. Maybe you will water red tags once a week, and green tags will get watered every Tuesday and Thursday. It all depends on what types of plants you have. Just make sure you have some sort of system so that you will remember the individual needs of each plant.
The supplies you will need:
The supplies are the final important part of indoor gardening. Naturally you need pots that will blend in with your home’s décor. This is easy to accomplish as there is a very wide variety of pots available. You can get ceramic pots, clay pots, metal pots, or wooden pots in any design. You can hang them from the ceiling, set them on tables, or place them in the corner. Just think about how big the plant is going to get, how fast it will get there, and what parts of your house need decoration. Indoor gardening is a fun and rewarding hobby, and fortunately it is easy to get started.
Unfortunately it is not possible to grow the same plants indoor everywhere as conditions vary from house to house. Keep the available space, the light and the size of every room in mind. Plants that need lots of light can only be grown indoors in rooms with lots of natural light. There are other plants again that can be grown in relative dark rooms without any problem.
If you really have a light problem but you still want plants indoors, you can also set up a system whereby you rotate the plants to make sure they all get enough light to grow properly. Of course this is only possible if you have the time to manage such a complicated system. Normally any plant that is placed in a window sill will receive enough light to grow healthy and strong.
