Growing Indoors
Even if you live in a smaller apartment unit, you will still be able to grow certain herbs, fruits and vegetables that can flourish in an apartment garden. There are many factors that will affect the success and livelihood of your plants as you transform your apartment into an eco-friendly one. Most fruits and vegetables need a whole day of sunlight, so plan accordingly and utilize your window space.
Be sure to use a well-draining potting mix that is light and fluffy to ensure the soil circulates air and keeps the roots healthy. It’s important to plan to water your plants many times a day as they need a lot of water to grow. Lastly, consider spritzing your plants throughout the day to offer some extra humidity. It’s time to experiment with your green thumb and indulge in the fruits of your labor!
