Indoor gardening is the solution if you don’t have enough space or land for your plants. It is the process wherein the plants are nurtured within a residence, building or in a greenhouse. Indoor plants also serve as decoration to your homes. But of course, there are some pointers to consider when you have an indoor garden.
The amount of light in your house will determine what type of plant is suitable in your indoor garden. Plants that require low to medium amount of sunlight is appropriate in your indoor garden. Since the plant will turn to the light, you should rotate the plant to have an upright growth of your plant.
When it comes to watering of your plants, it is better to ask the person who sold you to know how much and how frequently to water the plant. Don’t over water the plants because it might rot its roots. Temperature and humidity also affect the growth of the plant. The temperature range of most indoor plants should fall between 65-75° F, during the day and 10-15° F at night.
For indoor plants that grow very quick, you can fertilize it every 2 to 3 months while dormant plants do not need fertilizers at all. Since they are indoor plants, they received less sun so it does not need to be fertilized often. It is very important to remember that not all plants have the same requirements of light, water, temperature, humidity and fertilizers so proper monitoring of it is a must.



Indoor plants crave consistency: consistent watering and feeding schedule, consistent light, and consistent temperature. The more you can do to give your plants a stable environment, the better off they will be. Your plants will also flourish with a little extra attention
My Alpinia Purpurata, Hawaii Red Ginger plant has not done well this year inside. I think I may have brought it inside too late this year. I haven’t updated the pictures on my photo gallery on my blog yet, but it isn’t pretty! I have moved it to where it will get more sun and am going to fertilize it and cross my fingers. I can’t wait till spring so I can get it back outside and looking good! My house is full of plants just waiting for Spring and warmer weather!
We want to build a green house ourselfs and need to know how to do it and how to plant and maintain it.
Thanks
