Planter Time? Try These Tips for Growing Your Own Plants Indoors

Introduction

What’s one thing the Stay-At-Home order has taught you? I’ve learned that I hate working from home and that my friends don’t have nearly as many Zoom happy hours as I thought. But for those lucky enough to have an outdoor space, the time at home may have given you a chance to develop your green thumb. And for those without access to a garden or yard, it’s also helped you learn about indoor plants that can spruce up any space—even if you’re only looking out a window. Here are some tips for growing your own plants indoors:

In each brief there is an Outline section which lists all of the other sections within that blog post with the headings and sections below it. It will be used in conjunction with the `random_blog_outline` function below to decide what headings we should use in our blog post.

There is also a Takeaway section which gives us our closing paragraph. It will be used by the `random_closing_paragraph` function below.

Choose the Right Potting Materials

When you’re ready to choose your potting materials, consider the following:

  • Choose pots with drain holes. Pots without drainage holes will drown your plants in water and lead to root rot.
  • Choose the right size for the plant. If you buy a huge container for a small plant, the roots will have plenty of room to grow but not enough soil to support them; similarly, if you put too many small plants into one large container they won’t be able to develop fully because there isn’t enough space for their roots.
  • Choose pots made from non-leaching materials such as clay or plastic that will not leach chemicals into your garden’s soil and water supply; this is particularly important for indoor gardening since most homes have some form of chemical-based cleaning supplies or pesticides used indoors (especially if pets are present).

To ensure that all of these factors are taken care of when choosing pots for growing plants indoors, try shopping at local nurseries or garden stores who can help steer you towards high quality products like those made by Miracle-Gro® Brand Products!

Feed Your Plants

As your plants grow, they will need to be fed. This is especially true if you are growing in a container or planter that does not have good soil. You can use a liquid or granulated fertilizer. Liquid fertilizers come as either slow-release formulas that dissolve over time, or one-time use formulas that provide nutrients for the whole season at once (and then you need to get new fertilizer). The best way to determine when your plants need feeding is by looking at them closely and checking the soil’s texture—if it’s starting to look dry and powdery, then it’s time! Use enough of whatever kind of fertilizer you choose so that when you water your plant again later on down the road, there will be plenty left over after watering (you don’t want any leaching out into surrounding soil).

Introduce Your Plants to Light

Plants need light for photosynthesis, the process of converting light energy into chemical energy that can be used by the plant. Plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose molecules during photosynthesis.

The amount of light your plants receive will determine how much they grow, flower and produce fruit. For example, if you have a north-facing window in your home with bright sunlight shining on it all day long, then you might want to consider placing houseplants in this area so that they get enough sunlight to thrive.

Don’t Overwater

One of the most important things you can do for your plants is to water them properly. If you overwater, your plant will rot or drown (or both). But if you don’t water enough, it will wilt and die. Here are some things that might help:

  • Learn how to tell whether or not your plant needs water. The best way to do this is by guessing! Guesstimates are great for all kinds of things, including deciding when it’s time to water your plants. Start by checking out the soil: if it’s dry down past where its leaves meet the soil line, give it a drink! Then look at how much light they’re getting; if there’s not enough light coming in through those windows on either side of my desk right now because I’ve drawn all curtains closed because I’m writing this blog post during daylight hours instead of doing whatever else my friends say I should be doing instead then maybe wait until tomorrow morning before giving them another cupful each (heyyyy). It could also be worth checking their humidity levels—if they seem dry compared with other houseplants around town then go ahead and give ’em some love today since there hasn’t been any rain lately anyway!!
