Plants, whether grown indoors or outdoors require the same conditions to grow and flourish. The conditions are proper sunlight, adequate water, fresh air and soil nutrients.

To grow your plants indoor in a natural way, we are giving below number of guidelines. If you follow these guidelines you will be able to grow your indoor plants healthy and beautiful just as they would grow outdoors.

First of everything the plant will need sunlight. The sun is the source of plant food because in the presence of sunlight the leaves convert water and nutrition from the soil into food. This conversion process is known as ‘photosynthesis’. If you uphold a plant in a dark room with an opening in one of the walls from which sunlight pours in; you will note that the plant starts growing towards the sunlight. And if it’s unable to reach the source of light it dies.

Therefore, you should uphold the indoor plants out in the sun for a couple of hours. What if the plants cannot be moved at all? In that case you have to purchase adequate number of garden lights for indoors. If you think that ordinary lights are going to work, then you are bound to make a mistake. These special indoor garden lights have the ability to provide ultraviolet light to nourish the indoor plants; because ultraviolet is a component of the sunlight.


Then, comes the water. Plants can die because of excess water or inadequate water. The temperature of the water also plays a big part. Cold water or hot water will also damage the plant. The water should be of ‘room temperature’. Suppose you do not know how much water to give then do the following: Take a length of thin wire and pierce the soil; if the wire goes in easily, then the soil is having the right amount of water. If the wire does not go easily then you will have add some water. Thus you will have to train yourself to identify the right amount of water that you will have to give to the soil.

As the plants grow they use up the nutrition from the soil for photosynthesis. A time comes when most of the nourishment from the soil is depleted. To uphold the plant growing you will have to replenish the nutrition of the soil. For this you will have to recharge the soil with fertilizer. This recharging has to be done at familiar intervals to ensure that the soil is always full of nourishment. If you have plenty of places around your you can make compost pit in a corner and produce fertilizer by yourself using leaves or raw vegetable waste. While you have to take pains to produce your own compost, it will be easier for you to get it from the market. But you will have to choose the fertilizer in such a way that it does not affect your plants adversely.

If you follow the above guidelines you can be rest assured that you will see your indoor garden flourishing.
