If you’re living in the middle of the Amazon jungle, the last thing I
would recommend for you to do is try your hand at indoor gardening.
After all, why try to compete with mother nature and come out looking
like an amateur? But if, like most of the population of the western world
you don’t actually live at the foot of a rain forest then I would really
recommend looking into indoor gardening. As a jungle substitute of
course.
Why would you go for an indoor garden - as opposed to an outdoor one
of course? The reasons are pretty simple really. You don’t need to get
too mucky grubbing around on your hands and feet in the dirt. You’ll
almost never need to brave the harsher weather elements that nature
will throw at you for trying to compete with her. It will make your
house look nice, and you feel good. And ultimately in the grand scheme
of things, it’s good for you.
It’s difficult to imagine how indoor gardening could be good for you, but
really it has nothing to do with the gardening itself, more with the
plants instead. If you hark back to the good old days of high school and
peer pressure, you might just remember vaguely hearing something in
science class about plants and photo-something-or-other.
To refresh your memory, it’s a procedure called photosynthesis, where
plants remove carbon dioxide from the air, and release oxygen into it
instead, thereby removing pollutants from our environment. If you’re
living in a jungle there’s not too much of a problem with that, but living
as we are in our singular little houses, indoor plants are the next best
thing. Thus the indoor gardening.
When planning your lovely miniature rainforest - substitute ‘indoor
garden’ - you have a variety of stunning plant options to choose from.
Ones that the outdoor gardner might not be privy to. I won’t go into a
list of possible indoor plants right now as the list is longer than my arm,
but if you are interested I would suggest you take a look around in
your local plant nursery.
You’ll get a good idea of what types of plants there are for you to
choose from, and what types are a no, no. They just won’t grow
indoors! You’ll also find with indoor gardening that some plants can be
temperamental and will flat out refuse to grow anywhere within a
walled-in and roofed area! A simple and easy place to start with would
be try your hand at herb gardening. Simple to grow, useful in the
kitchen, and best of all not the prima donna type.
Gardening, of any kind, just doesn’t get any better than indoor
gardening, especially if you’re not an outdoorsy type of person and don’
t want a close encounter with the wormy kind. Or any other type of
crawly insect that resides in your outdoor garden, not your indoor
garden. The benefits of indoor gardening just keep growing!
