Indoor Gardening

Plants are just as popular as furniture when one is deciding on furniture and soft furnishings.

Aside from the aesthetic value plants provide your home with, there are also many health benefits. This is demonstrated to us all during  grade school science class. It tells us that plants cleanse the air through utilizing the carbon dioxide and therefore produces more oxygen.

What a wonderful thing nature is...

Here is some important information on how to care for your indoor plants to gain the optimum health and aesthetic benefits.

Lighting
Most indoor plants need good lighting. Darker leaved plants usually don't need as much light as others.
a. Philodendrons
b. Boston ferns
c. African violets
d. Cyclamens
e. Creeping Fig

Watering
A common mistake most people make in indoor gardening is they tend to over-water the plants, which may lead to rotting roots. Make sure to research the type of plant you have, because each kind of plant varies on their watering needs.

Potting
Choose good quality and attractive container for your indoor plants. Humidity
In indoor gardening, humidity is a big issue. During mornings, you could spray the plants with water for their much-needed moisture.

Fertilization
Just like watering, fertilizing depends on the type of plant. If you have managed to supply your indoor garden with the right amount of light, water and humidity, fertilization may not need much attention. A good indoor fertilizer can be bought from most hardware stores.
