Indoor plants garden

Small potted herbs not only look cute in your kitchen, but they may also inspire you to cook more often and eat healthier. Growing your own basil, parsley, or mint is also cheaper than purchasing herbs from the grocery store. Several herbs, like chamomile and lavender, have been shown to reduce anxiety, per Mayo Clinic officials. Herbs also contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which are a boon for your dietary routine.

How do house plants contribute to good health?

The beauty of plants and the act of caring for them can be truly healing. “Looking at something aesthetically pleasing can boost neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin,” Cates explains. Keeping plants primes your brain to look forward to interacting with the plant and receiving a hit of “feel good neurochemicals,” Cromer adds.

Plants offer immediate benefits by improving mood and stress management, Cates says. They also provide long-term benefits, such as improving air quality which may reduce instances of headaches — or by adding moisture to the air, which helps with dry skin, Rothenberg says. Handling soil, which contains microbes, can promote microbiome diversity in your home, which could benefit gut and skin health.

But, having houseplants alone isn’t a recommended treatment for any medical condition, Rothenberg adds. “Encouraging my patients to consider having houseplants is one part of a broader, individualized health care plan.”

What are the best indoor plants for air purification?

Research shows that plants can help with air purification, especially in areas where air quality may be in question. Breathing cleaner air also helps you think clearer, calms stress, and reduces the risk for asthma, Cates tells Good Housekeeping.

Houseplants absorb carbon dioxide, filter pollutants and release oxygen. “This is an important idea considering how much time people spend indoors,” Rothenberg adds. “By adding more oxygen, theoretically, you might have better focus, fewer headaches, and an improved mood.”

Snake plants, spider plants, rubber plants, peace lilies, ferns, and English ivy are some of the best indoor plants for boosting oxygen levels and purifying the air.

What are the mental health benefits of caring for a houseplant?

Being around greenery offers many mental health benefits. Horticultural therapy has long been used to treat mental health and other conditions. It helps improve memory, cognition and socialization. Humans also have an innate instinct to connect with nature, known as biophilia.

Caring for plants can reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood and concentration, and boosts confidence. “Plants provide a tangible, positive result for the caretaker which can help them feel more in control of their lives, something that can reduce anxiety and promote overall wellness,” Cromer says. “It gives the caretaker a sense of pride and accomplishment—being observant of how the plant is growing, looking, and to troubleshoot ways to solve problems.”

Watching them grow can be soothing, promote peaceful feelings, and provide a meditative experience, Rothenberg adds.

“Plants benefit health holistically because they are a non-stimulating partner that is accepting and tolerant, and are good listeners,” Cromer says. “Plants thrive with simple care and attention and are very visibly thankful for your efforts.”

If you are dealing with a mental health condition, you may need to speak with a professional. You can find help and learn more about anxiety by visiting the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.

  Any woman who is fond of floriculture can make a home garden with her own hands. A truly attractive do-it-yourself indoor garden can only be organized with the right choice of plants. Before you make a home garden, you must carefully read the recommendations given on this page.

  An indoor garden is a vessel containing more than one plant. Not a single pot is visible - they have been removed or hidden from view.

  Indoor gardens are still rare. Colorful plants such as everflowering begonias or coleus can be placed in the house in the same way as in the garden, but they are almost always grown in separate pots.

  An indoor garden is a vessel in which more than one plant is grown, and in it, unlike the potted group, individual pots are not visible. It can be a simple bowl with a few plants or a whole forest of greenery and flowers in a tiered structure, but the basic principles remain the same. The plants are either removed from the pots and planted in a vessel, or the pots are kept and masked with some sort of filling material.

  Like the pot group, this is also a way to grow plants together. Both methods have a number of advantages. When the plants are close, their defects can be hidden, the humidity around the leaves increases, and it becomes easier to water.

  The indoor garden also has its own unique advantages. Here you are truly gardening - planting plants together to create a sense of "oneness". The roots are better insulated, which helps protect the plants from the cold in an unheated room in the winter and from the scorching sun on the windowsill in the summer. Finally, if the pots are kept, there is a supply of water in the fill material.

  Unfortunately, the indoor garden has several disadvantages compared to the potted group. It is easy to waterlog the compost as there is no drip tray to drain the run-off water when the plants are in pots. The danger of waterlogging is increased if the plants are grown directly in the substrate in a bowl or box.

  They cannot be rotated for even growth and are not easy to remove when the plant needs to be replaced. However, there is something special about creating indoor gardens and this style should definitely become more popular.

  Indoor gardens and mini-gardens

  Indoor gardens are created in various styles, which involve the use of different containers for these purposes. Further, indoor mini-gardens are offered, which are most convenient and functional in residential areas. You can choose a suitable indoor garden based on your own desires and possibilities for organizing it.

  Standard box. The standard planter box is the main type of indoor garden. Don't buy too many plants - prefer larger ones so their shape and leaves aren't obscured by other plants. Instead of planting in compost, plant the plants directly in their pots in the infill so they can be easily rotated or replaced if needed.

  Be careful when watering. The crate does not have drainage holes, and so waterlogging is a common problem. Keep the infill layer damp, but not wet. It is best to put a water level sensor in the box or buy a soil moisture indicator. You will find that the box requires less frequent watering than individual plant pots.

  Artistic composition. This type of indoor garden can be no larger than a standard box. The essential difference is that the art composition consists of two or more containers, while the plants are on two or more levels.

  You can use ready-made modules or buy individual containers and put them together. You can make your own container if you are a fan of handmade. Each lander can be considered individually, both in terms of landing and leaving. The lowest block of the composition shown in the illustration is planted with potted plants, which are replaced depending on the season - bulbous in spring, poinsettia at Christmas, etc. Tall specimens in the background form a permanent leafy backdrop.

  How to make an indoor garden (with photo)

  And now it's time to figure out step by step how to make an indoor garden in an apartment or house. To get started, look at the indoor garden in the photo, which shows the various options for these decorative designs:

  Six steps to successfully creating an indoor garden:

  1. Choose the right box. Most store-bought crates are plain oblong trays made from white, black, or green plastic. Wood and bamboo have more interesting surfaces, and a square or wide round shape gives more room for artistic arrangement. Any sufficiently tall container can be used, but avoid patterned or brightly colored ones that can detract from or compete with plants.

  2. Select suitable plants. The first task is to find plants that have roughly the same requirements for light, warmth and watering. It's unreasonable to expect succulents and ferns to grow well together. Usually one or more tall plants, a few medium-sized plants, and then a few creeping and spreading plants are chosen to cover part of the edge of the box with them. Ornamental plants provide the base - flowering species are added to give additional coloration.

  3. Create a drainage layer. Spread 5-8 cm of gravel on the bottom of the box.

  4. Put the pots in the drawer. Place a thin layer of fill material over the drainage layer and arrange the pots in the desired order. It is better to use clay pots, always with drainage holes. A tall pot can be placed directly on top of the infill material, but smaller pots will need a stand to raise them to just below the rim of the crate. You can put a small pot on an inverted empty one.

  5. Irrigation control. There are automatic irrigation systems with a water level indicator, but you can make a water level sensor yourself. Install a tube in the box, the base of which should touch the bottom of the box. Insert a stick into the tube and use it as a probe. The water level should normally be below the top of the drainage layer.

  6. Place the fill material around the pots. The final step is to fill the gaps between the pots with a layer of damp compost. This fill layer should completely occupy the space between the drainage layer and the rim of the pots. Filling material should not be laid around plant stems.

  Houseplant Garden: Planting Tips

  There are various planting tips to make your indoor plant garden more attractive. Make sure the height and shape of the plants match the dimensions of the box. Try to pick plants with large differences in leaf shape.

  In a small drawer, a narrow vertical sansevieria or openwork grevillea and dizigotheca will provide height. The choice of tall plants for a large box is easier: palm trees, dracaena, ficus, monstera and philodendrons are popular.

  Plants with colored leaves are suitable for a medium sized box. Pay attention to the red leaves of cordilina and yellow scindapsus, chlorophytum and ivy. From plants with multi-colored leaves, choose croton, coleus and royal begonia.

  Finally, the popular four ampelous plants are ivy, tradescantia, dwarf ficus and zebrina.

  Hanging flowers in pots and their photos

  In most cases, hanging flowers in pots should be placed at eye level or higher in order for their beauty to be appreciated. Pots can be placed on a stand or a high shelf. But if you want to create a composition that will decorate the upper part of the room, use hanging baskets. Baskets are usually hung in front of a window and on a long bare wall where a bracket is used to hold the container. There are two types of hanging baskets. You can make your own hanging flowers in the form of standard waterproof containers suspended from chains or wire, but the best option is plastic baskets with a built-in drip tray.

  Ceiling or wall mounting must be secure. Use soilless plants and surround the pots with moist compost. Hanging baskets should not be left unattended - the air under the ceiling is warmer than elsewhere, so more frequent watering may be necessary. It is better to install a mechanism for lowering and raising the basket, but you can also use a pump-action watering can.

  Don't limit your choices to the usual hanging plants like ivy and dwarf ficus - include cascading flowering species like fuchsias, bluebells and lobelia.

  Pot-et-Fleur is a square or round vessel in which a small number of ornamental leaf houseplants are grown in potting compost. Its unique feature is that a deep glass or metal cylinder is inserted into the compost in front of the tallest plant and between medium-sized plants. Then it is filled with water and a small flower arrangement is placed in it. In this way, flowers from the garden or flower shop can be used to create an ever-changing and colorful arrangement.

  Sweat-et-Fleur can be thought of as a composition of indoor plants with a few seasonal flowers adding a touch of brightness to it.

  Here are various hanging flowers in pots in the photo, illustrating decor variations:

  Mini gardens from indoor plants

  You can create mini gardens from indoor plants to decorate a particular living area. For example, a garden of indoor plants can be placed on a wide dish or in a deep bowl.

  Built-in garden. The built-in garden is a permanent form of houseplant placement. This is a container built into the floor that contains soil or compost, much like a bed in a greenhouse. In the house they are placed in spacious halls, winter gardens or rooms; in offices and public buildings, they are usually built in the foyer. It is most convenient to construct it simultaneously with the construction of the building.

  Garden in a bowl. Mixed plantings in bowls contain different plants, not one species. Such compositions are more durable than just spring bulbous flowers. This is one of the most popular types of indoor garden, which can be purchased ready-made. Usually the vessel is a round bowl. There is a standard landing pattern. Tall plants, such as variegated ivy, are placed at the back of the bowl. Bushy or creeping and flowering plants are planted in front of it. To soften the look of the edge of the bowl, you can add ampelous ones, such as ivy or dwarf ficus.

  Watering is a major problem - the lack of drainage holes makes overwatering difficult to avoid. If you're building a pot garden from scratch, it's best to use a vessel with drainage holes and lay down a layer of gravel before adding the compost. Place the bowl on the tray.

  Mixed bowls are often criticized because it is not a permanent display - the plants grow quickly and it loses its decorative effect. However, it has been around longer than the flower arrangement, and the plants can be taken out and planted elsewhere.

  Garden on a plate. A small indoor garden can be set up in a bowl using carefully selected succulents and cacti. The surface of the container should be simple, but a varied and colorful collection of plants can make a garden dish an outstanding attraction. A watertight container can be used, but having drainage holes will help avoid the risk of overwatering.

  Live screen. The dining area in the living room combined with the dining room can be separated in many ways. Sometimes a wooden partition is used. A few pots in niches will help to revive such a divider. Many plant lovers prefer a live screen. A deep and fairly wide container is placed on the floor, and trellises or a series of decorative supports are set in the substrate. These supports run from floor to ceiling. The pots are then inserted into the substrate. Suitable plants: ivy, syngonium, scindapsus, Benjamin's ficus, tiny ficus, climbing philodendron and cissus.
