Here are my top ten indoor gardening tips for gardening novices.
Tip 1 – Choose the Right Plant
Before you bring a houseplant into your house, you just have to make sure you can give what it needs to grow healthily. Choose only those plants that will be able to grow in the climate and condition of your room. Here is a list of suitable houseplants with photos for indoor gardening that you may find helpful.
Tip 2 – Enough Sunlight?

If your house does not have a lot of sunlight, and if you are not planning to use any artificial light, don’t worry, for you still have many options to choose from. Different types of houseplant require different amount of sunlight. There are many types of plants that thrive in medium to low light conditions, such as African violets, Boston ferns, Spathiphyllum, Philodendrons, and many more.
