Indoor Gardens: A Complete Guide for Beginners

Indoor gardens have become essential decorative features in restaurants, chill-out areas, patios... and we all love to walk into a place to eat and suddenly discover a wonderful plant arrangement we weren't expecting.

Well, now we can create our own indoor garden to delight in, relax, and enjoy. You don't need a lot of space for this, but there are certain aspects to consider, which we'll tell you about in the following GARDEN WEB post.

Find a spot with plenty of natural light

Light is crucial for your green space to thrive and always remain in perfect condition, both in health and appearance. Therefore, even if you're creating an indoor garden, you should look for an area with good natural light as well as some ventilation.

Choose plants suitable for indoors

Before you get started, it's important to look for plant varieties that are suitable for indoors. We should also consider the geographical area where we live to choose plants that are truly acclimatized to our location. Some plants that are ideal for indoors include:

• Ficus

• Fern

• Spider plant

• Pothos

• Cactus

• Parlor palm

• Ivy

• Aloe vera

What pots and supports should I use for indoor plants?

If you plan to grow indoor plants, we recommend using plastic pots as they are very resistant and lightweight, so they can last for years if you don't need to transplant. Additionally, plastic is a non-porous material, which will help you save a little water as it retains moisture very well. However, remember to place a saucer under your pots to prevent water leakage.

As for the location of your indoor garden... it depends on the space you have at home. The most comfortable and simple option (in our opinion) is to define a few square feet of floor space and have pots of different heights.

The importance of a good irrigation system

This is another fundamental aspect of our garden. We need to know the water needs and resources for each plant we cultivate and determine whether we will water manually or use an irrigation programmer. If the place where we are going to locate our indoor garden is a patio and we have a water tap, we can also consider setting up our own drip irrigation system.

Where to store all gardening tools and materials?

This is an aspect to consider since we will need pots for transplanting, substrate, gloves, pruning shears, fertilizer... And all of this must be close to our garden but always tidy so that it doesn't interfere with the home's decoration and space.
