Get Started Indoor Gardening
Indoor Gardening Checklist
There are many benefits to indoor gardening; the most obvious, of course, is that you can grow plants year round, without the hassle of extreme climates or quick changes in temperature. Aside from the environment and climate control, indoor gardening is more space efficient, provides more efficient disease and pest control, is easier to maintain and allows you to grow whatever type of organics you want. Outdoor gardening is less flexible and, often, more disappointing due to unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances. Starting your own indoor garden is easy; with grow rooms or tents, some indoor growing supplies and a little know how, you will be on your way to the most efficient gardening experience ever.
There are several materials necessary to begin an indoor garden. Space is the first thing that you will need. Find a place in your home or garage, or if you prefer, build a small structure or greenhouse for your indoor garden. Decide what you would like to grow in your garden. Do you prefer to grow in soil or with a hydroponics system? Hydroponics is a system where nutrients are fed to plants through water, without the need for soil; generally, hydroponic systems yield more, because plants tend to grow faster in these conditions. Now that you have decided what and how you will grow, you will need to purchase all of your grow room equipment: containers, lighting, grow mediums, watering equipment and testing and monitoring equipment. You are now prepared to set up your indoor garden. Take advantage of product instruction manuals and easy to follow books on how to put together all of the grow room equipment. Take your seedling, partial plant or fully mature plant and begin growing indoors immediately.
When it comes to indoor gardening, remember these five essential things:
• Lighting- you must ensure that you provide enough light at the perfect intensity specifically for whatever plant you are growing.
• Control Climate- your plants will need fresh air exposure and circulation in order to be healthy plants.
• Propagation- you can multiply your plants or start them with seedlings, plant parts or by transplanting fully mature plants.
• Cultivation- you can choose to grow your plants hydroponically or in soil.
• Nutrients- different plants will need different amounts of certain nutrients at certain cycles of growth (i.e. trace elements, more nitrogen during vegetation or more phosphorous when producing fruit).
Prepare your grow room for these five aspects and collect all the necessary items off your indoor garden checklist, and you are ready to get started! Indoor gardening, it’s as simple as that.
