Tips for urban indoor gardening
Watering cadence
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use a tray to catch excess moisture and avoid root rot.
Humidity and air flow
Group plants to create microclimates and use a small humidifier or pebble tray in dry spaces.
Guides for a serene indoor garden
Creating a Zen corner
- Choose a quiet, lightly-lit spot.
- Incorporate natural textures: wood, stone, and soft textiles.
- Limit to a small number of focal plants to prevent clutter.
Simple care routine
- Inspect leaves weekly for pests or yellowing.
- Rotate pots monthly for even growth.
- Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in growing seasons.
