Beginner's Guide to Indoor Gardening

Start with easy-to-grow plants such as leafy greens (lettuce, kale, spinach), cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage), root vegetables (carrots, potatoes, beets), legumes (peas, chickpeas, lentils) and herbs (basil, rosemary, parsley).

Most indoor plants need bright, indirect light. Place them near a window or use grow lights if natural light is limited.

Overwatering is a common mistake. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Check the soil moisture with your finger.

Use a well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for indoor plants. Avoid using garden soil, as it can compact and retain too much moisture.

Feed your plants with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter.

As your plants grow, they may need to be repotted into larger containers. Repot when the roots start to circle the bottom of the pot.
