Who said that you can't have a beautiful garden indoors? If you are like many others in the city you are limited to little or no outdoor space. Its easy and cheap to bring the outdoors in.
Here's how we at Zinnia created a beautiful container garden. This indoor garden is great for
brightening up a room and naturally filtering the air. So take a trip to your local garden green house and pick up everything you need to freshen your nest with our easy indoor container garden. Begin by choosing plants that are
appropriate for the natural light in your home. Ask your local green house o help you choose which plants will work for you. While your at your local
garden center pick all the things you'll need to create your garden.
First pick the container that you love the most. Next pick the plants that will fit into your
decorative container. Don't forget a liner. This will protect your furniture from water damage. Gather some small stones, some good potting mix and a small bag of sheet moss and your ready to go.
To begin your planting start by covering your work area in craft paper to cut down on the mess that the soil will make. Place stones over the drainage holes in the bottom of your planter. This will insure that all of the lovely potting soil that you will fill you container with will not end up washing out of the pot.
Add potting soil about three and a half inches from the top of the container. slightly pack down soil. Gather all of your plants.
Keeping height in mind. Add plants so that the tallest growing plants stay pretty central and any plants that are low growing or cascading stay to the
outer perimeter of the planter.
Once these plants are in place, add potting soil to about one inch from the lip of the container. If you fill to full with potting soil, when you water your plant it will over flow.
To cover the soil add small amounts of sheet moss. Adding the sheet moss will also help to insulate the soil and retain some moisture.
Final details are always the most important. Give the sides of your container a good wipe down and you are all done. Make sure you water on a regular basis and your plants will be happy happy happy. These small little gardens look great as a table center
piece or a nice plant to have on a desk or sideboard.
