Grow Your Own Oasis: A Step-By-Step Guide To Creating A Mini Garden At Home

Modern-day apartment living refrains us from nature’s bliss. But it’s important to stay close to nature for a better living and mental peace. However, lack of space restricts people from planning a garden in their homes. If you are willing to bring greenery to your home, then here are the tips that will help you in making a mini garden at home. 

Find The Space

Space is the biggest challenge while you are planning to create a garden. But you don’t have to worry about the space. From the window ledge to the space below the staircase is enough to create a mini garden. However, the catch here is to pick the right kind of containers and plants. In a limited space, it is better to choose hanging planters. They look attractive and can be adjusted in limited space. 

Indoor Greenery

You can add greenery to your indoor space as well by bringing a terrarium home. You can look for glass tumblers, bowls and jars of various shapes and sizes. 

DIY Planters

If you don’t want to bring new planters home then you can DIY small planters using teacups, teapots, thimbles, vintage sap buckets or tins and willow baskets. These will look attractive and will fit easily in your home. 

Vertical Gardening

Vertical gardening is the best way to make use of the space and plan a garden. Vertical garden creates a statement if the right hanging baskets, wine bottles or containers are used.

Pick The Right Plant

While planning a mini garden it is advisable to choose the right kind of plants. In most apartments, it is challenging to get ample sunlight for the plants to thrive. Thus, you can choose the plant which can thrive even in less or no sunlight. You can go with ferns or snake plants (plants that can thrive in artifical light) for your indoor garden. 

Choose Upright Plants

While you are trying to accommodate plants (herbs that can grow in water) in less space, you can go with horizontal plants that grow upright. This way you will be able to save a lot of space and accommodate more plants in less space. You can also go for perennial plants that last up to two years or more to save money and effort.
