Matching Your Plant Choices to Your Indoor Garden Space
Whatever plants you choose to grow in your indoor garden, you’ll need to match each plant’s needs with the growing conditions – and space – you can provide. When looking for information online or shopping for plants in person, there are certain plant characteristics that are key for your indoor garden success.
1. What Information to Look For in a Plant Description
There are several things you need to know about a plant’s preferred growing conditions to be sure it will grow well in your indoor space.
From light requirements and humidity to maximum plant size and toxicity, understanding a plant’s specific needs before bringing it home is crucial for its long-term health.
2. How To Read a Plant Tag
Plant tags come in all shapes and sizes, from a plastic spike poked into the soil or stapled to the side of a plastic plant pot to a plastic tag tied to the trunk of a woody shrub. They provide the plant’s name and photo, and information about what conditions the plant needs to grow well, using a combination of text and symbols.
