If you're new to growing indoor plants, start small and expand as you get a better feel of the gardening practices. More people are increasingly looking to add indoor plants to make their interiors more aesthetically-appealing and healthier. Above everything, it can trigger new interests and a passion for gardening. For these reasons, start growing indoor plants today.
Many indoor plants don't require a ton of sunlight, but the key is to identify the right ones. For example, Philodendron is a common indoor plant that grows well in many climates and conditions. The added advantage is they don't attract pests, thereby making them a great choice for indoor areas. Other options include Devil'sIvy, Peace Lily, and more. Stay away from succulents and other cacti as they require a lot of sunlight to grow.
Most indoor plants thrive well in existing conditions and don't require too much time and effort. Some examples of indoor plants that fall in this category are Sansevieria, Pothos, Philodendrons, and most succulent plants that thrive well in pots.
Herbs like basil and mint thrive well indoors, but they require a fair amount of light, water, and maintenance. That said, they are easy to grow and can make your food a lot more flavorful. In fact, the smell of fresh herbs can make your food even more appetizing.
It's important to know what to look for in indoor plants, so you can better choose the one that fits well for your indoor environment. All indoor plants have a good root system and most of them are thick and rich in color. If it is a small plant, pull out its roots to gauge its health. Next, the foliage should be thick and a good rule of thumb is that you should not be able to see through the foliage. Thirdly, look at the leaves closely and if you see white dots or a tricky residue, it means the plant is infected with pests or diseases and won't thrive well. Based on these parameters, you can decide if the plant is healthy or not.
Great! Start growing your plant and as it gets bigger, you can learn to replant it, if you haven't done it before. It is fairly easy and there are hundreds of videos on the Internet that show you how to do it. Simply follow the instructions and you should be good.
Most times, indoor plants come in small containers, so there isn't much you have to do at the outset. Even if you grow from seeds, it's not so tough as the seeds will germinate and the plants will start to grow. So, you're good for the most part.
