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.
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.
