Indoor Flower Gardening a Gardening Paradise

Summary: Growing plants, veggies and fruits indoors is as easy as dissolving salt in the butter.

Indoor flower gardening is an art very few people understand since this requires a good level of

expertise. The factors to care for include Ventilation, Soil PH, temperature, air, sunlight,

nutrients and others. A well structured container is also a prerequisite since the absence of a

proper base can make or mar the plant flowering process.

Body:

Indoor flower gardening is a step by step process which requires a thorough precision. Any

mess in a step can hamper the plant growth stage. Many people staying in urban cities opt for an

Indoor garden to care at their leisure. Indoor flower garden is also a pleasure to the senses. Who

doesn’t want to watch a beautiful sight after getting up in the mornings? It’s such a delight!

You can use Indoor flowers like Lilies, dahlias, African violets, orchids, Poinsettias, Bromeliads,

desert cactus and so on but by my personal experience I just love to grow African violets and

orchids since they really appeal to the senses with their fantastic contour and sizes.

Indoor flower garden is a necessity for those who are short of space and need an

environmentally friendly environ which is pleasant to stay in. Indoor flower garden is not a

complex task but if you understand the basics correctly then it’s just an icing on the cake.

The factor to consider while creating an Indoor garden includes

Ventilation

Light

Humidity

A optimal temperature

Optimal Soil PH

Well balanced nutrient pack

Proper base pot

Ventilation: The area where the flowers need to be grown should be properly chosen as it

needs to be well ventilated. Proper air flow is necessary for giving life to the leaves and

branches. But don’t do it to the extreme as it can also result in wilting the leaves and buds.

Light: This is another prime factor when growing Indoor plants. For eg: African violets need

good amount of sunlight. So these flower babies need to be kept at a strategic location to aid

their growing process. Other flowers garden like Orchids, Lilies should be given moderate

temperature.

Humidity: A little amount of moisture is a must for hydrating the flower buds. Moisture is

necessary in moderate amount since it provides nourishment to the buds and seedlings.

An Optimal temperature: Well regulated temperature is a must for an indoor garden.

Actually, this is the first step when selecting an indoor garden. Check the temperature

periodically to see if it is properly maintained for that particular type of plant.

Optimal Soil PH: The alkanality of the soil medium also plays an important role in determining

the success or failure of the plant growth. Optimal PH should be maintained when growing

plants.

Well balanced nutrient pack: Nutrients for blooming the plants are divided into many

varieties. It may be water based solution culture called water nutrients, or bacteria resistant

nutrient gels. Both offer good yields and bigger sizes for flowering as well as growth.

Base medium container: This may look as easy task but without a proper medium and well

structured container all the hard work will go down the drain. Structured container means a

well ventilated, porous and well aligned base which provides all the necessary parameters for

plant growth.
