Always research the requirements of the plant species you are growing. Watering your plants with distilled room temperature water is also a good idea. Cold tap water might occasionally shock your plants.
Fertilizer
Making sure your indoor garden plants have enough nutrients is critical for long-term success. Although some potting soils contain nutritional enhancers, the plants will consume them after a few months. Slow-release fertilizers are popular because they can last for several months before needing to be reapplied.
Humidity and temperature
One of the primary advantages of indoor gardening is the ability to adjust the temperature and humidity. The recommended humidity level for many indoor plants is between 40 and 60 percent humidity.
If you have moisture-loving plants that require high humidity, or if your living space is particularly dry during the winter months when the heating is turned on, you may buy a humidifier or set up the garden in your bathroom. Indoor greenhouses or terrariums can also be used.
Repotting
Repotting your indoor garden plants on a yearly basis, or whenever they become root bound, is essential for long-term development and health. Make sure the pot is large enough to accommodate future development.
Indoor Gardening Plants
Certain plants are recognized to be well-suited to indoor cultivation. These are some examples:
- Veggies. Some vegetables grow especially well indoors. Carrots, hot peppers, lettuce, and tomatoes are among them.
- Herbs. Basil, chives, mint, parsley, and thyme are just a few herbs that thrive in a bright indoor location.
- Low-light plants Choose low-light species such as spider plants, snake plants, and certain ferns to create a low-maintenance tropical jungle in a shaded corner of your home.
- Plants that prefer humidity. Consider begonias, ferns, and peace lilies as plants for a terrarium or to thrive in a bathroom.
